The problem it solves

You're juggling multiple AI tools for different kinds of research questions and constantly losing track of what you already asked. Switching between tools and re-explaining context wastes time you'd rather spend on the research itself.

Who it fits

Researchers, faculty, and graduate students who want one place to ask research questions and get organized, cited answers.

How it works

  1. You submit a research question
  2. The system stores your question and past conversation history so it remembers context
  3. It routes the question to the AI model best suited for the task
  4. The AI generates an answer with citations
  5. You receive the result and a logged record for future reference
What you get

Research answers routed to the right model

Submit a research question and get an answer with citations from the best-suited AI model.

What you get

A cited research answer emailed to you, with a running log of your questions and results.

What you need

Accounts and API keys for Pinecone, OpenAI, and Anthropic, plus a Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
