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.
AI document research that shows you exactly how it found each answer
Point the tool at a folder of files and ask questions across the whole set at once, rather than opening documents one by one.
Whenever it answers, Three Sigma shows you how it reached the answer, so results are verifiable rather than a black box.
Access Three Sigma through a plugin from within an existing ChatGPT account on every plan.
No document on hand? A free solo mode works like a normal chat assistant.
