Knowledge layer that gives your AI the context it lacks
Save highlights and insights from webpages, PDFs, videos, social posts, newsletters, Kindle, and email using a browser extension or mobile capture.
Let AI suggest structure, group related insights, and use knowledge triggers and chat to keep your base tidy and searchable.
Feed your stored knowledge to any frontier model or custom agent via an AI Canvas and native MCP, so your context travels with you.
Build a common context space that both people and AI agents draw on for research, feedback, and collaboration.
Explore the academic literature as a visual graph of related papers
Each graph places the seed paper among its most closely related works, clustered by how often papers are cited together or share references.
Separate perspectives show what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, which is ideal for tracing a research lineage.
Start from a paper title, DOI, URL or proceedings link, so you can enter the graph from whatever you already have at hand.
A ranked list view lets you browse related publications by relevance when you need specifics rather than an overview.
