A research platform built around the researcher. The AI agent is an assistant that supports researchers rather than replacing them.
Sciente is a professional workspace for researchers. We bring literature search, data analysis, publication preparation and an AI assistant into one ecosystem. Our goal is to reduce routine research tasks while keeping scientific rigour and verification the priority.
AI agent tools
international appraisal tools
research databases
The researcher is the platform's central figure. The AI agent is a specialised chat-based assistant with more than 140 tools, from literature search and appraisal using international tools to evidence matrices and manuscript preparation. The agent selects a model for each task to balance quality and cost, but decisions and final responsibility remain with the researcher.
Parallel searches of PubMed, Crossref, DOAJ, Wiley, bioRxiv, medRxiv, J-STAGE and an archive of open journals, with deduplication and semantic ranking
Multi-query searches with synthesis of results and automatic pattern detection
Academic rewriting that preserves meaning, and stylistic editing for journal requirements
Create research diagrams and illustrations from the researcher's written description
Checks against CONSORT, PRISMA and STROBE checklists for automated quality review
Analysis of conflicts of interest, design weaknesses and methodological risks
Automatic bibliography generation from the works actually cited
Navigate relationships between articles, semantic clusters and evidence gaps
Project context is retained between sessions so the agent can follow the work's progress
The timeline, evidence matrix and decision log are updated automatically
AMSTAR-2, RoB 2, ROBINS-I, QUADAS-2, PROBAST, Newcastle-Ottawa, MMAT, SYRCLE, CASP, AXIS and other tools for automated risk-of-bias appraisal
Extract statements from articles, marking their position (supporting or opposing), strength and source role for balanced literature synthesis
Automatically extract p-values, OR, HR, RR, 95% CI, sample sizes and confidence intervals directly from article text
Compare methods and results across articles and automatically identify conflicting conclusions
Counterarguments and stress-testing of research hypotheses to identify weaknesses in reasoning
We deliberately constrain AI so that it serves research rather than substituting for it. These principles underpin the platform's architecture.
The AI agent supports researchers rather than replacing them. Every suggestion needs the researcher's verification. The platform is designed to leave final decisions with a person.
The agent is intended to help researchers work with sources and data, not invent them. AI conclusions, citations and extracted data may contain errors: researchers check them against primary sources before use.
The agent's actions are logged, including the tools called, sources used and decisions made, so researchers can trace its reasoning.
Built-in checks against international standards (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE) help researchers identify gaps during preparation. A checklist review does not guarantee methodological correctness or journal acceptance.
