Find research

AI for research: find relevant papers.

Search scholarly literature from your research question, inspect the results, and add relevant papers to your project. Keep your question and sources together as your research takes shape.

Understand the evidence

AI document analysis for research papers.

Explore a paper’s ideas in an editable knowledge map. Ask about its methods, findings, or unfamiliar concepts, and open cited sources to inspect the evidence behind an answer.

Synthesize your research

AI literature review, grounded in your sources.

Compare findings across your papers, explore connections on a semantic map, and develop cited synthesis notes. Keep your sources, maps, and notes together as your literature review takes shape.

Visualize and verify your research.

Chat

Ask questions with grounded citations.

Multi-step reasoning across your papers, every claim explained with its source.

Citations

Trace claims back to their source arguments.

Every citation is auto-indexed on import, with a breakdown of how it justifies the claim.

Connect your research in one workspace.

Synthesize across sources

Compare findings across papers and turn the pattern into an inspectable map.

Ask across your project

Ask questions over your sources and inspect the citation trail behind each answer.

Trace every claim

Move from an answer or map node back to the exact passage that supports it.

Read citations in context

See what each cited paper contributes to the argument you are reading.

Connect your research

Keep sources, notes, questions, and maps linked inside one research workspace.

Write notes with links

Turn highlights and ideas into notes that stay attached to their evidence.

Review notes and maps

Export notes and download knowledge maps when you need to use your work elsewhere.

“Atlas is beautiful and thoughtfully made.

As a researcher, I really appreciate being able to explore and interrogate any source type in depth through Atlas's chat and knowledge map functions.

The citations function is SO helpful, as I get to trace the precise quotes/content from my chat conversations back to exactly where they are mentioned in each source.”

“Atlas has been a real time-saver for me. I'm not some AI expert or data scientist - I just needed a tool to help me wade through the sea of articles I come across daily. What I love about Atlas is how it gives me the gist of an article in seconds.”

“TLDR: Saves time, summarizes well. My personal favourite use case is to ask it to summarize YouTube videos so that I can decide whether to watch it. It can perform off-the-shelf RAG over multiple websites and even WhatsApp / Telegram Web chats.”

“WHAT THE HECK DID YOU CREATE. It's like an ultimate GPT. I was actually quite surprised how the AI pulled so many concepts tgt. I think it's a huge addition to many super users of GPT. Excited to use it for my own research!”

“As a software engineer in a big company that has to read lots of documentation, this helps me summarize multiple fragmented docs to get me up to speed on the domain I'm working on - in a fraction of the time.”

“Atlas is constantly trying to push the boundaries of information and interaction design using innovative visual forms.

Using Atlas has not only given me a clear mental model to synthesize and consolidate information, but also an enjoyable and tactile feedback loop to generate original ideas.”
