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.
AI research assistant for evidence-based literature review and synthesis
A research agent gathers evidence across scientific databases, journals, public data and your own uploads, then produces cited reports, tables, figures and slides.
Semantic search across more than 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials, without needing exact keywords.
High-quality research briefs inspired by systematic review methodology, with deep customization of which papers and data are included.
