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.

Find and fix problems in your AI agents before users do
See every message, tool call and decision in a run, with inputs, outputs and durations, so you can pinpoint where a run broke down.
Recurring failures are grouped into issues with severity, affected users, last-seen time and a confidence score, instead of scattered alerts.
An agent investigates issues and automates follow-up across Slack, the web app and MCP, so debugging happens where your team already works.
Run scenarios against a change on a pull request and compare results with real traffic to catch regressions before merge.
