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.
No-code builder for custom AI agents and workflows
Assemble agents with a drag-and-drop interface, 100+ templates, and optional code extensions when you need more control.
Connect leading models and business services so agents can reason, retrieve data, and take action across your stack.
Ship agents as web apps, browser extensions, webhook endpoints, or scheduled automations for teams and customers.
Add review steps and validation so agents produce reliable output before and after going live.
