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.
The agent recruits, you manage talent
The agent continuously searches 400M+ profiles, identifies strong fits before they apply and sends each a personalised outreach message for every open role.
Every applicant is scored against up to 14 job criteria with visible reasoning, then messaged directly to confirm interest and close information gaps before reaching a recruiter.
Requisitions, pipelines, interview kits and scorecards, interview scheduling, offer letters with e-signatures and integrated background checks in one platform.
Publish jobs to 200+ boards in 100+ countries and build branded career sites with a drag-and-drop editor, plus LinkedIn and Indeed Apply integration.
