Research that runs while you sleep
AI Agents are autonomous tasks that execute in the background. Give one instruction and the agent searches 12 databases, analyzes evidence, synthesizes findings, and delivers structured results. No manual steps.
Three agents, one platform
Each agent is designed for a specific research workflow, from discovery to continuous monitoring.
Literature Review Agent
Give the agent a topic or research question. It searches 12 databases simultaneously, selects the 15–20 most relevant papers, generates a structured synthesis with conclusions and evidence gaps, and imports all papers directly to your project, automatically.
- ✓ 12 databases searched in parallel
- ✓ AI-generated structured synthesis
- ✓ Papers auto-imported with full analysis
- ✓ Evidence gaps and open questions identified
Real-world use case
"A CRO runs the Literature Review agent on 5 projects overnight. Monday morning, the team has 75 new analyzed papers and 5 structured syntheses ready, without a single researcher having to search manually."
Research Review Agent
Select an existing research. The agent reads the hypothesis, protocol, and roadmap, searches for supporting and contradicting evidence, identifies weaknesses, updates scores, and proposes a fully refined version, ready to accept or save as a new version.
- ✓ Reviews hypothesis, protocol & roadmap together
- ✓ Updates novelty, feasibility & impact scores
- ✓ Protocol & roadmap suggestions included
- ✓ One-click apply or create new version (v2, v3...)
Real-world use case
"A biotech team runs the Research Review agent on their lead hypothesis before a board meeting. The agent finds 3 contradicting papers published last month, updates the protocol suggestions, and proposes a refined version, in 8 minutes."
Research Monitoring Agent
Set it once and forget it. Every week, the agent automatically scans all your active projects for new relevant publications, evaluates their impact on each hypothesis (high / medium / low), and delivers a digest so your team never misses a breakthrough.
- ✓ Fully automatic, runs every Monday
- ✓ All projects scanned simultaneously
- ✓ Impact assessed per hypothesis
- ✓ Digest with high / medium / low alerts
Real-world use case
"A pharma company with 12 active research projects runs the Monitoring agent every Monday. Their team receives a digest with the 3 projects that had high-impact publications, so they know exactly where to focus."
How agents work
Four steps from instruction to result, all autonomous.
You give one instruction
Topic, hypothesis, or "monitor all projects". That's all you need to say.
Agent searches evidence
Queries up to 12 databases simultaneously and selects the most relevant papers.
AI analyzes & synthesizes
Reviews evidence, identifies patterns, and produces structured scientific output.
You decide & apply
Accept, version, or discard. You always have full control over what gets saved.
