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.
Build, deploy, and govern production-ready agentic AI workflows
A visual canvas where retrieval, branching, tool calls, human review, and model steps form a visible, testable execution path you can debug and hand off.
Create agents through chat or manual configuration, give them skills, tools, and knowledge, then ship them as apps, embeds, or reusable nodes inside workflows.
Build repeatable ingestion pipelines for documents, sites, and drives, with extraction, cleaning, chunking, indexing, and retrieval testing before you go live.
Install model providers, tools, data sources, and MCP integrations once and reuse approved plugins across every app in the workspace.
