Context Graph
Connecting the Graphs
Academe connects your project graph to the global corpus graph, so your sources, notes, and claims can be compared with the surrounding literature.
One graph, two halves
Papers you import can be anchored in both graphs: your highlights, margin notes, and citations on one side; their citations, contradictions, co-authors, and topical neighbours on the other.
The same anchoring happens for the things you write. A claim in your draft gets linked to the papers that support it, the papers that dispute it, and the neighbouring claims other researchers are defending. From that point on, Academe can reason across both graphs at once.
What this enables
Grounded answers
Chat answers lean on your own papers and notes first, the global corpus second, with links back to the graph evidence where available.
Gap detection
Academe sees what your project is missing relative to the part of the corpus it sits inside: uncited neighbours, unconsidered methods, unaddressed critiques.
Reviewer-style critique
Because the corpus records explicit contradictions, Academe can act like a critical reader: “these three papers disagree, and here is how each one would frame it.”
Relevance that’s actually relevant
Search and suggestions are ranked against your project graph, not a generic popularity score.
Live updates
When a new paper enters the corpus and connects to something in your project graph, Academe can surface it.
Citation suggestions with receipts
Proposed citations come with the source passage and the draft claim they support, both located in the graph.
Why this is different from “AI with search”
Many AI research tools treat each question as a fresh search over a static database. Academe keeps project structure over time, tracks corpus changes, and connects the two. As a project develops, the graph becomes a more useful map of your research with the surrounding field attached.
What you control
- What’s in the project graphRemove papers, notes, claims, or chat threads at any time. Removing them removes their influence on future answers.
- How aggressively Academe proposesInline suggestions, digest frequency, and background-research scope are configurable per project.
- What’s shared with collaboratorsDecide which parts of your project graph each collaborator can see, and revoke access at any time.
- Cross-project memoryOff by default. When on, it is scoped to your own account, and you can see exactly which past projects inform which current ones.
