The honest brief
Autoscience
Its agents run the whole research loop end-to-end — hypothesis, experiments, and write-up — rather than just assisting a human researcher.
- Full experiment loop, not just ideation
- Generates and tests its own hypotheses
- Backed by General Catalyst-led seed
- Early-stage; no public self-serve product
- Scope so far is ML research papers
- Autonomy at scale still unproven
FutureHouse
Unlike chat-based research tools, its agents are tuned and benchmarked on scientific literature tasks — PaperQA2 posted superhuman lit-search scores.
- Free to use
- Specialized science agents
- Open API access
- Strong lit-search benchmarks
- Narrow to research workflows
- Accuracy not guaranteed
- Smaller model ecosystem
- Newer platform
