AI agents that automate scientific literature research and discovery.

FutureHouse is a nonprofit AI-for-science lab building AI agents that automate steps of the research process. Its free FutureHouse Platform exposes specialized agents — including Crow, Falcon, Owl, and Phoenix — for literature search, synthesis, and chemistry, plus Kosmos, an 'AI Scientist' that runs autonomous multi-step analyses. The agents are available through a web app and an open API.

AI research assistant for literature review and evidence synthesis.

Searches, summarizes, and extracts structured data across 125M+ academic papers, with sentence-level citations. Goes beyond chat-over-papers with a guided systematic-review workflow covering search, screening, extraction, and report synthesis. A free Basic plan offers unlimited search and summaries; paid tiers add data-extraction volume and the review pipeline.

AI search over 200M+ peer-reviewed papers, with citations.

An academic search engine that runs natural-language questions against a corpus of more than 200 million peer-reviewed papers and synthesizes the findings with inline citations. Its Consensus Meter aggregates how much the studies agree or disagree, and a copilot helps draft literature reviews. Aimed at researchers, students, and clinicians.

AI deep-research agent that finds every relevant paper on a scientific question.

A research-discovery platform that takes a natural-language question and autonomously searches, reads, and evaluates hundreds of academic papers — following citation trails and explaining each result's relevance, mimicking how an expert runs a literature review. Built by MIT quantum-physics PhDs and backed by Y Combinator; used by researchers at MIT, Harvard, and Caltech.
