AI research workspace for searching, reading and connecting papers
Search a corpus of hundreds of millions of papers by meaning, with new content indexed continuously from thousands of journals.
Ask questions of any paper and place multiple studies side by side to spot agreements, contradictions and the bigger picture.
A visual graph maps how papers and concepts connect, helping you find adjacent work you would otherwise miss.
Upload your own PDFs, capture reading notes, and organize everything in a single research workspace.
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.
