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.
From prompt to polished presentation, report, or page — on your brand
Describe the deliverable and NextDocs builds it with real layouts, charts, and structure — presentations, reports, proposals, web pages, and spreadsheets.
Upload logos, fonts, and colors once; new documents inherit the brand system automatically so teams stay visually consistent.
Choose from up to four variants per prompt, then rewrite sections with AI or make precise manual edits in a full editor.
Research-backed generation pulls in real inputs rather than generic filler, which matters for reports, whitepapers, and strategy decks.
