Discover

Search what's actually out there

One query fans out across OpenAlex, Crossref, arXiv, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar, then ranks and dedupes the results. Real papers, never invented.

  • Five scholarly databases in one search
  • Ranked, deduplicated, deduped across sources
  • Save to collections and push into your workspace
Read

Read deeply, in any language

Resolve the open-access PDF, recover figures, translate, and get a structured deep-read of any paper, including scanned and CJK sources other tools choke on.

  • Open-access resolution + figure recovery
  • Inline translation for non-English papers
  • Eleven-section deep read: methods, findings, limits
Write

Write from your sources

Lit reviews, proposals, discussions, statements of purpose, all drafted from the papers you picked in the Synthesis Lab, with every specific claim traced to a real source and cross-checked before delivery.

  • Grounded in the papers you selected
  • Citations cross-checked, no fabricated references
  • Paper Review gives a peer-review-style critique

  • Knows your sources and your draft
  • Runs multi-step research on request
  • Results flow straight into your mods

Citations you can trust

Every specific claim in a generated draft is traced to a real supplied paper and cross-checked before delivery. No fabricated authors, years, or findings. The work stays yours; the busywork doesn't.
