Type a question in plain English and get an instant answer drawn from your connected data, without writing SQL by hand.

A snappy grid built from scratch for fast navigation of large tables, with customizable table plugins and edit-in-place controls.
Compose analytics boards manually or hand them to the AI, then embed charts anywhere using open-source web components.
A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
