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.
On-device AI memory for AI researchers
Save a finding from a paper, ML blog post or news article as a "bit" straight from the page you are reading.
The AI that indexes and recalls your bits runs locally and does not send data to any server.
All bits are stored and indexed on your own machine rather than in the cloud.
Look up what you saved even without an internet connection.
