Every question
deserves a scientist.

Ask in plain words. Agents read the literature, run the experiments and write the paper.

“Does the timing of weight decay change when a network suddenly generalises, or only how much of it there is?”

§1 · Method

Seven stages, from a question to a paper.

The full scientific method, carried out by a team of agents. You see every step and can step in at any of them.

01

Clarify

A few multiple-choice questions turn a loose idea into a precise research brief.

02

Literature

Hundreds of papers searched, screened and read, then mapped into a citation graph.

03

Gaps

Open problems ranked by novelty, feasibility and impact. You choose, or it does.

04

Plan

Hypotheses, methods, controls and success criteria, written out for review.

05

Blueprint

A machine spec: which agents, which tools, in what order, on what budget.

06

Execution

Agents write code, install software, train models and run jobs on cloud GPUs.

07

Paper

Results consolidated, claims audited, citations verified, LaTeX compiled to PDF.

08

§2 · Principles

Rigour you don’t have to supply yourself.

01

Any field

Biology, physics, machine learning, economics. Agents find the databases, servers and software a question needs on their own.

02

Real compute

Every investigation gets its own sandbox and environment, plus cloud GPUs that run in parallel and are metered by the second.

03

Guided or autonomous

Approve every stage yourself, or let it run from question to paper. Switch at any point.

04

Verified, not vibes

Each task is checked against the files it produced. Each claim in the paper is traced back to a result.

§3 · Who it’s for

Built for anyone with a good question.

Researchers

Run the study you never had the weeks for.

Test a side hypothesis, replicate a result or scan a new field overnight.

Labs & R&D teams

A tireless junior scientist for every PI.

Parallel investigations with audit trails, budgets and checkpoints you control.

The curious

No PhD required.

Ask in plain words. Every step is explained, and nothing is hidden behind jargon.

Early access opens in waves

Your next question could be a paper.
