Sapien's Capabilities

AI Chat

Sapien is an AI-driven chatbot engineered to revolutionise 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 and files

  • 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 o1, GPT4-family models, Claude models and Gemini Pro

  • Realtime AI voice chat

Research Spaces

Research spaces allow you to upload documents and have the AI provide summaries and a literature review.

You can then semantically search over these documents to find relevant documents and chunks within documents.

For each document, SapienAI provides a summary based on the instructions you provide when creating the research collection. Each research space can have multiple collections (which can contain the same documents) with different instructions.

For each research collection, SapienAI provides an indepth overview of all documents contained in the collection.

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

  • Relevant papers from your Zotero library

Microsoft Word

Connect your Microsoft account to access all features while still working within Word. Don't use Word, or does your organisation prevent third-party access? No problem. Use the built-in WYSIWYG editor to save your writing online and export it to Word once it is complete.

Zotero

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

SapienAI responds with the backing of relevant academic papers from Semantic Scholar's database of over 215 million papers.


Host Sapien Yourself

While the final touches are being added to access Sapien directly online, you can get advanced access by self-hosting a beta version.

Benefits of self-hosting:

Clutch

Learn more

Running Sapien locally using Docker is simple, flexible and provides fast, consistent use.

Data security

Learn more

Self-hosting ensures that all data is stored on your device. The only time information leaves your system is to get responses from the LLM endpoints.

Control

You remain in charge of LLMs used and hosting methods. Sapien works with either OpenAI or Azure's OpenAI service and provides customisable chat powered by o1, GPT4, Anthropic's Claude 3 models (e.g. Sonnet, Opus) and Google's Gemini models.
