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.
Run surveys, AI interviews, and usability tests in one research workspace
An AI moderator conducts qualitative interviews, asks adaptive follow-up questions, and transcribes responses in dozens of languages, replacing hours of manual 1:1 sessions.
Build branching surveys with more than twenty question types, or run card sorts, tree tests, and Figma or live-website tasks to validate flows before you build.
AI personas evaluate prototypes, messaging, and concepts on demand, so you can pre-screen ideas or gather directional feedback before spending budget on real respondents.
An assistant clusters themes, drafts summaries and recommendations from interview transcripts, and lets you export raw data when you want to run your own analysis.
