Google's rapid prototyping IDE and developer API workbench for building multimodal applications with Gemini models.
Allows developers to drop hours of video, multi-track audio files, high-resolution images, entire codebases, and multi-hundred-page PDFs directly into the prompt window with up to 1,000,000 tokens of shared context.
Provides direct access to Google's frontier reasoning and agentic models with granular controls over thinking tokens, temperature, function declarations, and strict JSON schema output validation.
Includes a dedicated `/live` studio interface for testing sub-second, bidirectional voice and screen/camera interactions powered by `gemini-3.8-live`, `gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking`, and `gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview`.
Connects model responses to live Google Search results and Google Maps geospatial data with a single toggle, including 5,000 free grounded requests per month on Paid tiers before $14/1,000-query metering.

AI research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.

SpecialistOffers broad general reasoning and document upload capabilities, but lacks specialized academic indexing and citation databases.


Enterprise developer platform and API for deploying GPT-6 Astra, Sol, Luna, and realtime multimodal agents.
One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider

Free / Open-sourceProvides a massive free index of scholarly literature with citation graphs, but lacks built-in interactive paper reading assistants.


Provides evidence-based answers extracted directly from peer-reviewed papers, though less of an all-in-one reading workspace.

Zhipu AI's open platform for GLM large models, multimodal APIs, and agent building

Free / Open-sourceGoogle's family of lightweight, open-weight AI models


SpecialistOne API for 1,500+ production-ready generative media models
Stronger automated data extraction and systematic review synthesis, but less focused on interactive PDF annotation than SciSpace.

SpecialistTogether AI is the AI Native Cloud — a full-stack platform for running, fine-tuning and training open-source models. It spans serverless inference APIs, dedicated endpoints, GPU clusters, post-training and storage, all backed by in-house systems research.

SpecialistFocuses heavily on assisted academic drafting and autocomplete, whereas SciSpace centers more on reading and analysis.

SpecialistRun, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
