Knowledge explorer
Scientia
A research assistant for your materials that stays grounded, shows its work, and supports deeper exploration.
The problem
When you are working through complex ideas, the hard part is not finding information. The hard part is keeping it coherent. Notes and documents get scattered across folders, and AI chats often respond with confidence while hiding what they relied on.
Scientia is designed to help you explore knowledge with more clarity. It shows what it used, keeps answers readable, and gives you tools to test what works.
How Scientia works
Scientia retrieves relevant context from your materials and provides answers with visible grounding. Some questions also need outside background. In those cases, Scientia can blend in world knowledge while staying explicit about what came from your sources versus what came from general knowledge.
Scientia also supports experimentation. You can run A/B tests to compare approaches, and you can use graph-based exploration when the topic is connected and non-linear.
What you can do
- Ask questions across your materials and see what informed the answer.
- Use A/B testing to compare different strategies and learn what works best for your use case.
- Explore connected topics with graph-based modes when a simple thread is not enough.
- Keep complex retrieval workflows understandable without drowning in settings.
Grounding and provenance
FAQ
Is this the same as chatting with PDFs?
It is closer to a research workbench. It focuses on grounding, experimentation, and exploration rather than only chat.
What does A/B testing mean here?
It means you can compare two approaches side by side and see which one performs better for the kind of questions you ask.
When does world knowledge come into play?
When a question needs outside context that is not present in your materials, Scientia can add that background while keeping provenance clear.
