★AcademicFind a real citation for every claim in a draftPaste a draft section and get every claim matched to a real, verifiable paper — or flagged as unsupported.
★Academic · PlatformVerify that every citation is real and supports its claimVerify every reference actually exists, then confirm it says what the text citing it claims.
★Platform · AcademicBuild a reusable literature-review workflowWrap a repeatable review workflow into a skill your whole team can run the same way every time.
Platform · AcademicTrack new papers across many topics on a scheduleSweep hundreds of topics on a cron, diff against last run, and report only what changed.
Life & health sciencesCreate a biomarker evidence reportAssess the evidence for a biomarker’s optimal range across Mendelian randomization, cohorts, and trials.
Life & health sciencesBuild a drug target validation dossierHuman genetics, in vitro, animal, and clinical evidence for one target — including what contradicts it.
Life & health sciencesMonitor new research about a drug, device, or brandTrack what gets published about a drug, device, or brand and route only the consequential papers.
AcademicTurn a syllabus into a recommended reading listExtract course topics and return recent papers mapped to each learning outcome.
Academic · Life sciencesFind NIH grants for a research ideaPosition your idea, map it to the right institutes and study sections, and surface NOSIs and funded overlap.
Applied & physical sciences · AcademicExtract numbers and formulas from full-text papersPull numbers, formulas, and parameters out of papers with their measurement conditions attached.
Applied & physical sciencesSubstantiate a product claim with published evidenceBuild the evidence file behind a claim before it ships, including what contradicts it.
★PlatformSwap a hand-maintained paper corpus for full-text searchReplace a curated PubMed subset you maintain yourself with a weekly-refreshed full-text index.
★PlatformAdd a citable evidence layer to an agent you already shipGive a working agent access to peer-reviewed literature as a tool, so its claims carry citations.
PlatformAnswer one question with many parallel searchesDecompose a question into search angles, gather across all of them, and distill one cited answer.
PlatformScreen thousands of target-disease pairs for evidencePull literature evidence for every pair in a large matrix — the batch workload that breaks most APIs.
PlatformBenchmark literature providers against your own ground truthCurate queries with known-relevant papers and measure which provider actually surfaces them.
AcademicScreen abstracts against inclusion criteriaApply explicit criteria across thousands of abstracts, with a decision log a second reviewer can audit.
Academic · Life & health sciencesBuild a PRISMA-ready search corpusAssemble a reproducible, deduplicated record set with the flow counts a systematic review must report.
AcademicWrite the search-strategy section of your methodsTurn a logged search into the reproducible methods paragraph reviewers ask for.
AcademicFind which journals to submit toIdentify the journals actually publishing work like yours, with their quartile, so you target realistically.
AcademicTrack how a field’s terminology changed over timeCompare old and recent literature so you search the terms the field actually used, not just today’s.
Life & health sciencesGrade a set of papers with your own evidence rubricApply your organization’s standard for good evidence consistently across every paper on a topic.
Life & health sciencesFind the leading investigators in an indicationRank the authors publishing most in a therapeutic area, split by region and by recent versus lifetime output.
Life & health sciencesAssemble a payer evidence dossierPull cost-effectiveness, burden-of-illness, and real-world evidence a reimbursement submission needs.
Life & health sciencesCheck whether a finding has human evidence yetSeparate cell and animal work from human studies, and report the ratio.
Applied & physical sciencesCompare candidate materials against published test dataSearch performance data for each candidate under your operating conditions, and find the untested gaps.
Applied & physical sciencesFind published work on a failure or degradation mechanismCheck whether a defect you are seeing is a known mechanism before you spend a quarter rediscovering it.
Applied & physical sciencesFind published process conditions for a manufacturing stepSee what temperature, time, and concentration ranges others published, so you start from precedent.
Applied & physical sciencesCheck a supplier’s performance claim against independent researchTest what a vendor claims against what independent published work reports.
Applied & physical sciences · Life & health sciencesFind human-factors evidence for a design decisionPull the biomechanics, ergonomics, and usability research behind a product or workstation choice.
