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.
Highlight any sentence, get an instant, page-aware AI explanation
Highlight a confusing sentence and receive a short explanation without leaving the page or opening another tab.
Choose how much surrounding page text is sent along with your selection to balance answer quality against API cost.
When a selection plus page context exceeds the request size limit, the extension automatically lowers how much page content it ingests.
Accidental highlights created by double-clicking are ignored, so the tool only fires when you deliberately select text.
