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.
No-code AI agents grounded in your company's knowledge
Configure AI agents through a visual interface, connect company data for context-aware actions, and swap between models without rewriting your setup.
Ground agents in internal docs, wikis and tools so they can research and act on company knowledge alongside the public web.
Build multi-step automations in a node-based editor and schedule agents to run recurring work even when you are offline, delivering results to your inbox.
A browser extension brings the same agent experience to thousands of apps and websites, avoiding constant context switching.
