Ten research tools — and the one that cannot invent a source.
In the order we'd set it up. Start with the anchor, add supporting tools as you grow.
It only answers from documents you upload — so it cannot wander off and invent things. Start here if you care about being right.
Everyone's default. Confident even when it is wrong.
Answers with links attached. Still summarizes shallowly.
Pulls straight from scientific papers. Only useful for academic questions.
Built for literature reviews. Steep for casual use.
Explains dense papers in plain language. Coverage is patchy.
Maps how papers connect to each other. Finds, does not read.
One visual graph of a field. Does exactly one thing.
Shows whether other studies support or contradict a paper. Underrated.
Free, enormous, no hype. Feels like a library, not an assistant.
