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 answers grounded in 300M+ scholarly full texts
Ask a research question and get an answer assembled from the scientific literature, with every claim linked to its originating paper and sentence.
Search more than 300 million articles, preprints, books, patents and datasets using full text rather than abstracts alone.
See at a glance whether later work supported, contrasted with, or mentioned a paper, claim, author, journal or institution.
Run Scite inside ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants, or tap citation data through the Zotero plugin and browser extension.
