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.
AI research workspace for searching, reading and connecting papers
Search a corpus of hundreds of millions of papers by meaning, with new content indexed continuously from thousands of journals.
Ask questions of any paper and place multiple studies side by side to spot agreements, contradictions and the bigger picture.
A visual graph maps how papers and concepts connect, helping you find adjacent work you would otherwise miss.
Upload your own PDFs, capture reading notes, and organize everything in a single research workspace.
