AI answers grounded in 300M+ scholarly full texts
Ask a research question and get an answer assembled from the scientific literature, with every claim linked to its originating paper and sentence.
Search more than 300 million articles, preprints, books, patents and datasets using full text rather than abstracts alone.
See at a glance whether later work supported, contrasted with, or mentioned a paper, claim, author, journal or institution.
Run Scite inside ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants, or tap citation data through the Zotero plugin and browser extension.
Legal research and citation linking, built into your browser
The extension scans the page you are reading and turns case names, citations and statutory references into clickable links that open the matching document on vLex.com, so you can verify authority without leaving your tab.
Vincent AI reads the context of the content in front of you and recommends relevant vLex cases, statutes and commentary, letting you explore the surrounding legal landscape in one click.
Search results are augmented with related vLex documents, so case law, legislation and secondary sources appear beside ordinary web results instead of being buried several pages deep.
Beyond the extension, Vincent AI accepts natural-language legal questions and returns structured answers with linked citations, and can generate multi-jurisdiction surveys for comparative work.
