An open research workspace
Your words. Your sources.
AI can help you read, never write for you.
Search the open scholarly record, build a personal library as you read, and write your own notes and papers with every reference at hand. A read-only Reading assistant can summarize and explain what you are reading. Everything you write stays yours.
Free to start · No credit card · Your library stays yours: export it anytime, delete it anytime
How it fits together
Find it
Search the open scholarly record — 250M+ papers across every field — right from Discover. No account needed to look.
→Keep it
One click adds a paper to your library with its metadata and abstract. When you want help reading it, ask the Reading assistant. It never touches your notes.
→Write with it
Pull any saved paper into a note or a full draft as a proper citation. The words are yours, and you never retype a reference again.
→Stay current
Save a search you care about and get a digest the moment something new is published.
Everything a working researcher needs
Not a dozen disconnected tools — one workspace that carries a paper from first search to final draft.
Discover
Search by title, topic, or author across the open literature, with citation counts and open-access links.
A real library
Every paper you save keeps its full metadata, its abstract and your own notes, organized and searchable.
Related papers
See what's connected to anything you've saved, sourced from the citation graph, and add it in one click.
Cite in one click
Pull citations straight from your library into any note or draft in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver, and export your references as BibTeX.
AI that helps you read
Summarize a paper, explain its key terms, list findings and limitations, or compare saved papers. Every answer is labelled AI-generated and links to the real abstract. Your notes and drafts are never sent to AI, and never written by it.
Our approach to AI →Deadlines & digests
Track a submission deadline against your draft's progress, and get emailed when a saved search turns up something new.
