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.

The AI WordPress plugin that writes, optimizes, and publishes for you
Takes a topic through an automated pipeline — research, outline, drafting, images, links, schema, and scheduling — to a published post.
Studies your existing posts and images to learn your tone, vocabulary, and rhythm, then writes new content that sounds like you.
Refresh hundreds of posts at once, choosing exactly what to update such as meta data, links, images, and FAQs.
Generates images and inspects each one for hallucination, irrelevance, or artifacts, automatically recreating failures.
