Chat with your papers, then search, extract and cite across your whole research library
Ask questions across a single paper or several documents and get answers grounded in the full text, with every claim linked to its source statement.
Search a large corpus of peer-reviewed literature in plain language and receive synthesized answers with citations rather than a raw list of links.
Import from Zotero or Mendeley or add papers by DOI, then annotate, store and reuse everything across search, review, extraction and writing.
Generate a structured, fully cited literature review from your own protocol, drawing on up to 50 papers at a time and organized by theme.
Chat with any PDF, video, or website and get cited answers in seconds
Every response is anchored to your source document with clickable citations that scroll to the exact passage, so verification takes seconds instead of page-by-page searching.
Organize documents into folders and query many files in a single conversation to compare arguments, cross-reference findings, or study a whole syllabus at once.
Condense long papers, reports, and contracts into key takeaways, and translate or query documents in any language — including mixing a source language with a different question language.
Generate flashcards and slide decks from your material, and use the built-in AI writer and AI detector for drafting and checking academic text.
