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.
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
