ScienceOS

ScienceOS is a free science AI chat that answers questions using 230 million research papers, adding references, comparison tables, scientific diagrams, and citation networks. It targets researchers, students, and labs that need traceable literature backed answers rather than generic chat output.

ScienceOS is a science focused AI chat tool built for people who need answers they can trace back to the literature. Its core chat draws on a corpus of 230 million research papers and returns responses with references attached, which puts it in a different class from general purpose assistants that often produce plausible sounding claims without a source. Alongside plain answers, the chat can assemble tables, generate scientific diagrams, and draw citation networks to show how a body of work connects. The product is aimed at academic researchers, doctoral candidates, and students who spend their days reading and organizing literature. The homepage lists institutions such as Charité Berlin, ETH Zurich, TU Munich, and Delft University of Technology among its users, which signals the intended audience clearly. A research assistant or lab group can use it to map a new field quickly, check which papers support a claim, or visualize co citation patterns before committing to a review scope. In practice the tool works as a chat interface supplemented by document handling. Users can upload PDFs for question answering, and a dedicated project manager page suggests longer running work is organized around projects rather than single conversations. The chat itself runs in the browser at app.scienceos.ai, so there is nothing to install. Because answers carry references, a typical session ends with a short reading list rather than a block of untraceable text. Among science specific AI assistants, ScienceOS positions itself on coverage and cost. The headline claim is that the whole package, chat with references, tables, diagrams, and citation networks, is free to use. Whether that free tier holds for heavy use depends on the pricing page, which sits outside the material reviewed here. For literature discovery and early stage synthesis it is a credible alternative to general chat models; for deep statistical work or lab data analysis it is not a substitute for specialized tools.
