DocsSourcipediaOverview

Sourcipedia.

A self-evolving knowledge base. Every topic distilled into a cited summary with the sources behind it — searchable in plain language, free to read, and updated continuously by the same engine that powers ResearchAnything.ai.

§ 01What it is

Sourcipedia is the public, citation-grade encyclopedia inside Essarion. Type a topic; get a knowledge card — a short, cited summary with every source it was built from. There is no editorial board, no anonymous edit war, no opinion column. There is a topic, a synthesis, and the receipts.

It lives at sourcipedia.com. No account is required to read; the search, browse, and article surfaces are open to everyone.

TipIf you just want to use it, the fastest path is Quickstart. If you want to understand what a card is and where the sources come from, jump to Articles & sources.

§ 02Why it's different

The web has plenty of summaries. Most of them are either uncited, stale, or both. Sourcipedia is built on a different promise: every claim in every card traces back to a real source, and the corpus updates itself.

Cited by default

Every knowledge card is generated from sources, not around them. The card body, the linked concepts, and the source list are produced in one pass by the same pipeline ResearchAnything uses for long-form reports. If a claim made it into the card, a source admitted it.

Self-evolving

Cards are not hand-authored. An auto-generator continually proposes topics — drawn from incoming queries, related concepts, and a Wikipedia ingest — and the worker turns them into cards. When the corpus learns something new, the relevant cards are refreshed.

The public search surface uses vector search only. You ask a question or describe a topic; Sourcipedia returns the cards that most closely match what you meant, not just what you typed. There are no advanced operators to learn and no mode toggle.

Open to read

Every public surface — home, search, article, recent — is readable without an account. There is no paywall on a knowledge card and no soft-gate behind sign-in.

§ 03How it fits in the platform

Sourcipedia is a thin, public-facing experience layered on top of the same engine that runs ResearchAnything. The corpus — knowledge cards, concepts, and sources — is owned upstream by the research engine. Sourcipedia handles the reading surface: search, article pages, and a feed of the most recent additions.

That separation matters in two places: a research run inside ResearchAnything contributes back to the corpus, and a Sourcipedia card always opens out to its sources rather than walling them in. The dependency is one-way, and the citations are first-class.

§ 04What's on sourcipedia.com

Home

A minimal, centered page: brand, a search bar, and a live article count. The whole thing is one input field — start typing a topic.

Submit a topic and Sourcipedia returns the closest matching knowledge cards in the corpus, ranked by semantic similarity. Empty result sets are rare: if nothing strong matches, the system can queue the topic for auto-generation.

Article pages

Each card has a permanent URL at /article/:id with the full summary, the related concepts, and the source list. Citations link out; nothing is hidden behind a click-through.

Recent

A cursor-paginated feed of the newest cards. Useful for browsing what the corpus has been learning lately, and for spotting topics worth digging into in ResearchAnything.

§ 05Use cases

Quick look-ups

"What is X?" — the same question you would google, answered with a cited summary instead of a top-of-page ad and ten blue links.

Research starting points

A Sourcipedia card is a good first stop before a longer ResearchAnything run. Read the card, follow the linked concepts, then take the question deeper if you need a defensible report.

Classroom & study

Every claim is sourced. Students and teachers get a cited reference for every topic — and the sources panel teaches the habit of going past the summary.

Background reading

Journalists, analysts, and the merely curious can get the lay of an unfamiliar field in a few minutes, with the source list to verify and extend.
