One AI agent for finding, reading and writing with real research
A single conversational agent handles discovery, paper reading, literature review, document analysis, writing and citations, so you do not switch between separate tools.
Turns a research question into a structured review with real sources, supporting APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago and BibTeX output formats.
Upload a paper or document and ask questions about it, with answers grounded in the file and source or page references for traceability.
Automatically extracts findings, method, results, limitations and contributions, and can compare several papers in a structured table view.
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.
