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 diagrams and technical design docs built from your code and systems
Generate architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and BPMN from a text prompt, code, Terraform, or an uploaded PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Draw.io, or Visio file.
Build interactive maps that sync with cloud accounts, repositories, and internal catalogs so the picture stays close to the real environment, with drill-down from org level to a single container.
Paste code or connect private and public Git repositories, Confluence, Notion, VS Code, and GitHub to keep diagrams grounded in actual implementation.
Run the agent toolkit in your own infrastructure under an MIT license and let MCP-compatible clients create, search, update, and export diagrams with OAuth or API tokens.
