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.
Chat with PDFs, audio, video and websites — and get cited answers fast
Upload PDFs and audio, paste website URLs or YouTube links, and query all of them from the same conversational interface.
Responses point back to the regions of the source they came from, so you can verify claims and reuse exact wording in your own writing.
Free accounts get a handful of sources and questions each month, while paid tiers scale up to hundreds of sources and thousands of questions.
Paid plans include optical character recognition so image-only PDFs and scans become searchable text instead of dead weight.
