Research,
drafted with
discipline.
Knight stress-tests your ideas against real literature, unpacks papers deeply, and drafts publishable LaTeX. Grounded citations and principled writing, not generic chat fluff.
Built for PhD students, postdocs, and faculty researchers
- Materials science
- Quantum computing
- Bioinformatics
- Neuroscience
- Public policy
- Econometrics
- Climate science
- Mechanical engineering
One companion,
three tools.
From choosing what to work on, to unpacking papers, to drafting your own—each mode is built for how researchers actually work.
- 01
Think
Share your profile and half-formed ideas. Knight searches arXiv and Semantic Scholar, surfaces prior work, and narrows to honest, novel directions.
- 02
Explain
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or PPTX and get a companion reader plus a deep workbook—sectioned, annotated, and ready to study.
- 03
Write
Draft a full paper in chat with evidence-aware safeguards, live PDF preview, journal templates, and grounded references when you are ready.
You keep
the artifacts.
Every run ends in files you can read, print, and compile — not another tab of chat you have to copy out by hand.
- A companion reader per paper
Explain turns an uploaded PDF, DOCX, or PPTX into an HTML reader with equations and section annotations.
- A deep workbook behind it
Each run also ships a sectioned, annotated PDF workbook — built for studying, not skimming.
- A draft you can compile
Write exports clean, compilable LaTeX with grounded references — plus live PDF preview while you draft.
