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.
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.
