Sapien's Capabilities

AI Chat

Sapien is an AI-driven chatbot engineered to revolutionize how academics, researchers, and students interact with the vast universe of knowledge.

Sapien's chat interface provides a user experience similar to other AI chatbots but with a few key enhancements:

  • Messages are backed by actual research, significantly reducing the risk of hallucination

  • Multimodal support for AI vision, with support for files coming soon

  • Sapien has access to the most advanced large language models out of the box. Different models have different personalities, and the interface lets you choose which foundational model to power each conversation. Chose from GPT4, Claude 3 models such as Opus and Gemini Pro

Academic Writing Support

Powering better academic writing with advanced artificial intelligence.

The Sapien writing assistant doesn't tell you what to write or how to write it. Sapien looks deeper into your arguments, challenging assumptions and ensuring claims are recognised and supported.

All the information you need on one page:

  • Sapien's feedback to improve your arguments

  • A list of relevant academic papers for each argument being made

  • Access to academic experts – powered by ExpertID – to help you uncover perspectives and research right from the source

  • Relevant papers from your Zotero library

Microsoft Word

Zotero

Connect your Zotero Account to unlock natural language search over your library items.

ExpertID ExpertID

Tap into a reservoir of knowledge through Sapien’s integration with ExpertID. Access a network of academic experts with ease and reinforce your arguments with insights from academic experts.

Sapien's feedback is backed by relevant academic papers from Semantic Scholar's database of over 215 million papers.
