Epsilon

Epsilon is an AI search engine that can speed up scientific research by finding relevant citations, summarizing papers and synthesizing results. It's geared for researchers who want to work more efficiently and find evidence-based information.

Epsilon's main abilities are:

• Investigate: Pose a research question and get a summarized answer with inline citations to the source material, using a corpus of more than 200 million academic papers sourced from PubMed, arXiv and Papers With Code.
• Search: Find and organize publications and patents that support research, with the ability to open papers and save PDFs.
• Validate: Pull information from multiple papers at once to assess claims, find citations or perform a meta-analysis.
• Synthesize: Upload papers to generate a summary and search libraries to synthesize results from trusted papers.

More than 30,000 researchers use Epsilon for tasks like finding evidence, finding citations, writing grants and performing literature reviews. It can be used by institutions around the world.

The pricing tiers are:

• Free: Up to 25 searches and unlimited paper uploads are free.
• Student: $49 per year, with unlimited searches and libraries and GPT-4 access. It's available to active students.
• Professional: $129 per year, with unlimited searches, libraries and GPT-4 access, as well as early access to features and priority support.
• Organization: Custom pricing for organizations, with unlimited searches, libraries and GPT-4 access and early access to features and priority support.

Epsilon uses GPT-4 to generate summaries, but it tries to focus on factual information that's trustworthy by using citations from academic papers. Search queries are sent to third-party providers like OpenAI, but individual users' data isn't shared.
