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 writing assistance for journalists — now rebranded as Prism
Paste notes, documents, transcripts or press material and let the AI reshape it into a coherent article draft.
An editor built around the way newsrooms work, so structure and flow matter as much as speed of drafting.
The engine underneath was built as a large-language-model-based writing assistant rather than a simple summariser or rewriter.
The project has evolved into Prism, a platform for defining and executing complex AI processes, with journalism features maintained at Newsrun.ai.
