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 that watches your video and writes study notes as you watch
Captures code, equations, diagrams and slide content exactly as they appear, so notes are complete even on videos with no captions.
Generates headings, bullets and syntax-highlighted code blocks that drop straight into an Obsidian vault or any Markdown editor.
One click adds the current frame to your notes at the right timestamp, ideal for diagrams, demos and UI walkthroughs.
Listen to a speaker in your own language while the video stays in sync, and ask Hovie to explain or summarise any moment using your notes and screenshots.
