Agentic AI research workspace
Bring your research stack into one workspace.
Academe brings scholarly literature, notes, citations, drafts, and project memory into one context graph. The research agent can compare sources against your argument, surface gaps, recover prior decisions, and help you find relevant work you would not have discovered through keyword search alone.

Does my chapter 3 argument on synaptic noise contradict my earlier electrophysiology review?
A
Scanning 47 documents in your corpus...
Yes — chapter 3 argues stochastic noise enhances signal discrimination (citing Faisal et al. 2008), but your review (§2.4) cites three studies showing noise degrades accuracy once trial-to-trial variability is controlled for. The core tension: chapter 3 treats noise as an encoding feature, while the review treats it as a decoding error source under the same parameters. These aren’t incompatible, but you never reconcile them — a reader could see a contradiction. Qualify chapter 3 to specify the amplitude regime where enhancement holds, and reference your Figure 3.4 crossover point.

The Problem
Research is fragmented across too many tools that were never built to work together.
Writing happens in one place, literature search in another, citation management in a third, and notes somewhere else entirely. Each tool does its job reasonably well, but moving your work between them is a constant manual process: exporting references, reformatting drafts, copying passages, and rebuilding context every time you switch. The overhead compounds over the course of a project.
Because these tools are disconnected, the assistant inside each one only sees a narrow slice of the project. You end up repeating context instead of building on prior work.
01
Your research stack is fragmented
Most researchers juggle four or five separate tools: one for search, one for notes, one for citations, and one for writing. They rarely share context cleanly, and each switch costs momentum.
02
Context gets lost between tools
When your writing lives in one place, your sources in another, and your notes somewhere else, you spend more time managing information than working with it. The project context gets scattered.
03
Generic chat tools lose context
General-purpose chat often starts from scratch. You re-upload the same files, re-explain the same project, and get answers that miss the work already done. The more your research grows, the more that friction shows.
The Solution
One workspace. A research agent that works from it.
Academe unifies writing, literature discovery, note-taking, and citation management in a persistent workspace. The research agent can work from your project state: drafts, notes, citations, open questions, and the sources behind them.
Persistent context
Academe keeps the relevant state of your research across sessions: drafts, notes, references, and the shape of your argument. As more work accumulates, the workspace becomes easier to navigate.
Project
Memory across sessions
Broad coverage, familiar formats
Academe indexes 400M+ scholarly works across articles, preprints, books, patents, datasets, dissertations, and reports. Whether you work in molecular biology, economics, philosophy, or engineering, your project and the surrounding literature stay connected in one place.
400M+
Scholarly works
Agentic, not stateless
Academe keeps project context available while you work, so writing, search, notes, and citations do not start from scratch each time. Its research agent can use that context to connect relevant papers, gaps, and ideas to the work that produced them.
Agentic
Research workflow
Beyond search
Discover what you did not know to look for.
As you write and upload work, Academe connects papers, methods, and ideas to the project in front of you. The research agent can draw from project context without making you re-upload files or restate the same background.
Surface non-obvious connections
Academe identifies relationships between your current work and adjacent areas of the literature, including papers and methods you might miss with ordinary search.
Identify gaps and contradictions
Surface inconsistencies between your claims and the broader evidence base, and spot where your argument is missing grounding.
Understand where your work fits
Get positioning recommendations grounded in your project history and the current landscape of the field.
Context graph
Your literature, drafts, and notes in one graph.
Academe connects a broad scholarly corpus to the work on your desk, with coverage spanning 400M+ scholarly works across 52,000+ journals, and 8M+ preprints. Newly published research is indexed daily after publication. Your projects can connect directly to the corpus, or stay completely isolated if you prefer, and the research agent reasons across the context you allow.
The global corpus
Scholarly sources we can legally index: journals, preprints, books, theses, datasets, and patents, cleaned up so duplicate records do not crowd the workspace.
Your projects, connected
Drafts, notes, PDFs, and citations, linked into the global graph so the research agent can surface what matters in context.
Your projects, isolated
Private work stays private. Toggle a project off the public graph and it reasons only against your own corpus.
What the graph enables
Four layers, one working surface.
The context graph keeps search, writing, citations, and discovery working from the same project record.
How it works
Context that compounds as you work.
1
Bring in your work
Drag in PDFs, Word docs, notes, and drafts. Academe indexes the files you bring in and keeps them connected to the project you are building.
2
Context accumulates
Academe keeps track of arguments, evidence, and the current state of your project across sessions. As you write and upload more, the research agent has more useful context to work from.
3
Discover what you're missing
As you write, Academe surfaces relevant papers, methods, and ideas drawn from 400M+ scholarly works, including connections you would not find by keyword search alone.
Capabilities
Core research work, in one persistent workspace.
The public tools are useful for one-off tasks. The workspace is where the work starts to compound: files, notes, citations, and drafts remain available to the research agent as the project changes.
Literature search
Search across your corpus and 400M+ scholarly works at the same time. Answers stay grounded in exact papers with page-level citations.
Context-aware writing
Draft outlines, expand arguments, and revise sections with project context close at hand.
Project memory
Your thesis, key claims, prior work, and references persist across sessions. The system builds an understanding of your research over time.

For Students
From your first research paper to your final dissertation.
Students read, write, and synthesize constantly, yet most writing assistants are not built for how coursework actually happens. Academe supports school work from a first science report to a doctoral dissertation.
Read difficult material
Bring in a textbook chapter, PDF, or journal article and ask questions against the actual source.
Write with source context
Turn an outline into a draft, expand notes into paragraphs, and revise unclear sections while keeping sources in view.
Study from your material
Turn notes and readings into summaries, flashcards, and practice questions you can ask about later.
Keep citations close
Quotes can stay linked to source pages. Bibliographies support APA, MLA, Chicago, and other common styles.
Work through a stuck point
Use your prompt, notes, and sources to get specific feedback on a thesis, introduction, or section draft.
Work against a rubric
Upload the assignment, rubric, or journal spec. Academe checks your draft against the requirements and shows what changed.

Unified research stack
Point solutions are useful. Research needs shared context.
Most research workflows are assembled from capable tools that do not know about each other. Academe brings literature discovery, notes, citations, writing, collaboration, and the research agent into one workspace so the project record travels with the work.

Reusable project context
The next task starts from the record already built
Each category has capable point solutions built for it. The problem is that they rarely talk to each other. Exporting a citation here, copying a note there, and reformatting a draft for a different editor all tax research time. Academe keeps the workflow in one environment, so less context has to be translated, reconstructed, or lost in transit.

Our mission
Research is hard enough without the tools getting in the way.
Model-backed tools are useful, but today they still ask too much of the researcher. You upload a paper, re-explain your project, lose context between sessions, and spend more time managing the tool than doing the thinking.
We believe research software should do more than answer isolated questions. It should help you notice papers you might have missed, suggest connections across your corpus, and preserve context as your thinking changes.
Academe makes this possible by maintaining persistent context across papers, notes, drafts, citations, and project history in one system. Instead of starting from zero each session, the research agent can work from the record you have already built.
Students
From high school papers to doctoral dissertations. Academe keeps your sources, notes, and drafts together, and revises your draft against the rubric, style guide, or journal spec you are submitting to.
Researchers & Faculty
Synthesize across a body of literature, identify gaps, and write under deadline with your sources and notes in context.
Industry Professionals
