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.
On-device AI memory for AI researchers
Save a finding from a paper, ML blog post or news article as a "bit" straight from the page you are reading.
The AI that indexes and recalls your bits runs locally and does not send data to any server.
All bits are stored and indexed on your own machine rather than in the cloud.
Look up what you saved even without an internet connection.
