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.
AI-native workspace for literature reviews and auditable systematic reviews
Ask a research question in plain language and get a synthesized answer drawn from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar, with every claim linked to its source paper.
Run PRISMA-style reviews with a predefined protocol, recorded screening decisions, dual independent reviewers and a conflict resolver, and a PRISMA diagram generated from your actual counts.
Import from Zotero or Mendeley, add papers by DOI, and get metadata and open-access PDFs fetched automatically, with annotations and notes that feed every other workflow.
Define custom extraction columns and have AI fill them across many papers, with each value linking back to the sentence it came from, exportable to CSV or Excel.
