AI research assistant for evidence-based literature review and synthesis
A research agent gathers evidence across scientific databases, journals, public data and your own uploads, then produces cited reports, tables, figures and slides.
Semantic search across more than 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials, without needing exact keywords.
High-quality research briefs inspired by systematic review methodology, with deep customization of which papers and data are included.
Automated screening and data extraction for systematic reviews, with researchers reporting up to 80% time savings.
Moonshot AI's long-context assistant for research, coding, and agentic work
Feed in lengthy documents, papers, or code and ask questions across the full text without losing earlier context.
Hand over multi-step jobs that involve planning, browsing, and tool use instead of only single-turn answers.
Generate structured research reports, slide decks, and formatted documents directly from your prompt or source files.
Extend capabilities with plugins and set recurring jobs so the assistant keeps working between sessions.
Delivers powerful reasoning and broad file analysis, but with smaller default context limits for raw documents.
