15 tools, organized by research stage. Filter to find the right tool for your workflow. Every entry includes honest limitations and a last-verified date — AI tool pricing and features change fast.
Predicts protein 3D structure from amino acid sequence with near-experimental accuracy. AlphaFold3 extends this to predict interactions with DNA, RNA, and small molecules.
Search engine that surfaces consensus or disagreement across the scientific literature on a specific claim, with source-linked answers pulled from real papers.
AI-driven relevance screening for high-volume literature monitoring and competitive intelligence — primarily aimed at corporate R&D teams tracking a research area continuously.
Semantic search across 138M+ academic papers with custom extraction fields that auto-populate across a paper set, with sentence-level source citations on every claim.
DeepMind's graph neural network for materials discovery — has identified 2.2 million new crystal structures, with hundreds already experimentally synthesized.
DeepMind's ML weather-forecasting model that rivals numerical simulations for 10-day global weather prediction at a fraction of the compute cost.
Natural-language data exploration, statistical analysis, and publication-ready visualization — upload a dataset and ask questions in plain English, no coding required.
Grounded Q&A and summarization over your own uploaded sources (PDFs, notes) — every answer cites the specific source document it drew from.
Academic writing assistant for grammar, academic language, and journal-submission readiness — trained specifically on peer-reviewed scientific literature.
Visual citation-network mapping tool for exploring how a literature area connects — 'Spotify for papers' that builds a visual map of related and citing works.
Generative models for designing novel protein and peptide structures from scratch — complementing AlphaFold's prediction role with de novo design capability.
Combined platform for paper discovery, PDF chat, and manuscript writing — spanning reading through drafting in one interface.
Classifies citations as supporting, contrasting, or merely mentioning a claim — lets you verify whether a paper's findings are actually well-supported in the literature.
Free AI-powered academic search engine covering 200M+ papers with citation graphs, semantic relevance ranking, and auto-generated TL;DR summaries.
Long-standing open-source reference manager, increasingly paired with AI plugins for citation formatting, library-wide search, and PDF annotation.
