A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
AI file sorter that renames and files your documents from a plain-English prompt
Describe the result you want in plain English and Sortio plans the renames and folder moves for you.
Reads inside each file to build meaningful names such as date, vendor, amount, or person, instead of leaving cryptic originals.
Every move is shown before it happens, and any sorting pass can be rolled back completely.
Files stay on your machine, with local LLM and bring-your-own-key options on every plan.
