Overview

Guides and reference for the three products Essarion builds: ResearchAnything, Sourcipedia and Essarion Science. Each one does the reading for you and shows its work.

01The products

Each product is its own app, with its own website and its own sign-in, and each has its own section here. Start with the one you use.

• ResearchAnything

  Ask the way you’d ask a person. It reads across sources and brings back one answer, with a source on every claim.

  ResearchAnything docs
• Sourcipedia

  An encyclopedia that researches its own entries. Each one is written from sources, with numbered citations, and free to read.

  Sourcipedia docs
• Essarion Science

  A research scientist for biology and medicine. It plans the investigation, runs the analysis and tests its own conclusions. Private for now.
