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.
High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
