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.

Written findings come back as everyday sentences — for example a meniscus tear becomes 'a small tear at the back of the cushion on the inner side of your knee' — with unfamiliar terms collected in a glossary.
Every finding carries a signal such as no concern or worth monitoring, so you know what to raise at your next appointment and what is likely routine.
The report opens with the worry you typed in before uploading, answers it directly, then lists what the radiologist looked for and ruled out, such as an intact ACL or no fracture.
Question lists are generated from your actual findings rather than a generic checklist, and a follow-up chat already has your report open so nothing needs to be pasted in.
