AI research tools

Research tools help you search, read and summarise sources: academic papers, PDFs, web results, market data or your own documents. The most useful ones make it easy to see exactly where each statement comes from.

Summaries can drop caveats or attribute a claim to the wrong source. Use these tools to find and triage material faster, then read the passages that matter yourself before citing them.
