Grounded answers
Evidence questions are answered with real papers retrieved live, with links.
AI research assistant grounded in real papers
General chatbots will cite papers that do not exist. The Research Copilot answers research questions directly and, when evidence matters, pulls real papers live from OpenAlex. Attach your manuscript and it answers about your own text: the gap, the framing, the likely reviewer objections.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does it make up citations?
Evidence-based answers use papers retrieved live from OpenAlex, with links, so you can open every source. Always read a paper before citing it.
Can it read my manuscript?
Yes — attach it or paste the relevant part and ask about it.
Where do the sources come from?
From OpenAlex, an open index of scholarly works covering hundreds of millions of papers, queried live when a question needs evidence.
Can it help with statistics?
Yes — the statistics mode explains tests, assumptions and how to report results, for example what to do with p = 0.06.
Is it free?
Every tool opens on the free plan: a free account gets 50 tokens every month. Longer documents, downloads and some advanced modes need a paid plan — the tool tells you when you reach one.
Can it write my paper for me?
It helps you think, plan and check — framing the gap, choosing methods, finding literature and anticipating reviewers. The writing, the claims and the responsibility for them stay yours.
How is it different from a general chatbot?
It is tuned for research questions, pulls real papers when evidence is needed, and can answer about your own manuscript when you attach it.
