The companion

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.

Proof of work

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.

Start your next paper with a companion that shows its work.
