AnswerThis

AnswerThis is an all-in-one AI research assistant that supports the full research workflow, from finding research gaps and collecting papers to summarizing, analyzing, and drafting citation-backed content for papers, dissertations, and theses. It addresses a common problem in academic work: manually screening thousands of papers, dealing with inconsistent or made-up citations from generic AI tools, and juggling many separate apps to produce a single draft.

Key Features

• Verified answers and citations: Each statement in an answer is checked against the source it came from, unsourced claims are removed rather than guessed at, and every citation links to the exact paper and passage.
• Large source database: Search over 300 million research papers, trials, and PDFs, with filters for database, journal quality, date, and study type.
• Library and organization: Collections, tags, highlights, and full-text search across saved, uploaded, or synced sources, with integrations for Zotero and Mendeley.
• AI Writer: Import an existing draft or start fresh, cite from your library in one click, detect AI or plagiarism, and switch between 2,000+ citation styles.
• Collaboration: Invite co-authors into a shared workspace, suggest changes, and manage roles and permissions in one place.
• Systematic reviews: End-to-end screening, extraction, meta-analysis, and grading, with every change logged and PRISMA- and Cochrane-compliant workflows.

Typical Use Cases

• Literature reviews: Ask a question or paste a protocol, then receive a summarized, citation-backed review that previously took hours or days of manual searching.
• Drafting academic papers: Turn research answers into deliverables in the AI Writer, citing library sources and formatting references automatically.
• Systematic reviews for reviewers and regulators: Run screening, extraction, and evidence grading with traceable, submission-ready outputs.
• Team research projects: Co-author in a shared workspace so search, notes, references, and writing stay in one cited document without exports between tools.

How It Works

1. Type a question or paste your protocol into the canvas and filter by database, journal quality, date, and study type.
2. Review answers with clickable citations that jump to the exact passage in the source.
3. Save and organize sources in your library, syncing from Zotero or Mendeley where needed.
4. Draft or revise in the AI Writer, citing from your library and selecting a citation style.
5. Share the workspace with co-authors or run a systematic review with logged, compliant steps.

Who It's For

AnswerThis suits academics, students, medical and clinical researchers, and research teams who need trustworthy evidence and a continuous workflow rather than generic chat responses. It is positioned for users ranging from individual researchers to institutions, including enterprise teams that require shared libraries, collaborative workspaces, SSO/SAML, and integrations with institutional systems.

AnswerThis centralizes search, verification, writing, and collaboration so researchers can move from first question to submission-ready draft with confidence in every citation.
