Licensed news infrastructure and a real-time News API built for AI
Query breaking news in under 100 ms or search archived coverage across years and decades through one consistent API.
A multi-step, self-learning agent that iterates, branches and verifies across paywalled news, the open web, X, Wikipedia and more for deep research questions.
Schedule monitoring of topics, companies and events, receive recurring reports, and follow how narratives evolve with analytics and change logs.
Each data point arrives with entities, geo-coordinates, sentiment, bias scores and key points, linked into a graph of relationships over time.
AI research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.
