Research reports built from 300M+ real scholarly papers — every claim cited and DOI-checked
Ask a research question and receive a structured report in which each statement is tied to a real scholarly record, with references checked against the source and DOI.
Query a very large index of papers, journals and authors, with grounded search strings designed to surface relevant literature quickly.
Upload papers, ask direct questions about their contents, and organise notes, PDFs, citations and source material in a shared library.
Draft and refine scholarly text using inline citation support so references stay attached to the sentences they support as you rewrite.
Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
