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.
An AI writing workspace that keeps the craft in focus
Ask the built-in assistant to critique a passage, brainstorm alternatives or rewrite something, without leaving the document.
Keyboard-driven AI shortcuts find the better word, expand a bullet into prose or generate a list of ideas in place.
Threaded comments navigated by shortcut plus saved versions, so you can try a different way of saying something without losing the original.
Share a link for one-click co-editing in real time, or send a read-only link so others can simply read the finished piece.
