AI academic search engine for peer-reviewed science
Ask a research question in plain language and get answers synthesized from peer-reviewed studies, with each claim linked to its source paper.
A visual summary shows how the scientific literature leans on a yes/no question, indicating agreement, disagreement or mixed evidence.
Narrow results by study design, sample size, journal quality, publication year and more to prioritize high-quality evidence.
Aggregate findings across many studies into structured summaries that map what is known and where the gaps are.
Engineer better proteins, faster, with AI
Start from a target or your own sequence and have Cradle design an optimized plate of candidates informed by your data and domain knowledge.
Improve efficacy, developability, and manufacturability in parallel rather than one property at a time, compressing time to a target profile.
Every round incorporates results from the previous one, so experimental data compounds across campaigns and prior failed programs stay useful.
Everything in the web application is exposed through the API, so computational teams can script campaigns and wire Cradle into existing pipelines.
