Features

Built for rigorous research workflows

Handles your toughest questions

  • Use the agent for the research questions that shape important decisions: which targets to prioritize, how competitors compare, what the evidence says across studies, or where the data is still uncertain. It can search the literature, extract data, analyze figures and tables, model data, and create charts, helping you turn complex evidence into decision-ready insights.

Shows its reasoning and backs up every claim

  • See how the agent plans its approach, searches sources, reviews evidence, and builds its answer. Every claim links back to the exact supporting passage, table, or figure, so you can understand the reasoning and verify the evidence behind it.

Reasons rigorously at any scale

  • Rely on an agent designed to understand what good reasoning looks like, weigh evidence appropriately, and judge claims based on the strength of the underlying sources. It applies the same standards consistently across large research tasks, so the hundredth result is held to the same level of rigor as the first.

Builds on your work over time

  • Turn research findings into the tables, figures, reports, and slides you need, while keeping your sources and context together. Projects help you pick up where you left off and make every research session a foundation for the next.
