AI research assistant · Research agent

AI research assistant for deep technical work.

Basis is an AI research assistant for technical investigations. It develops a question into evidence, explored branches, artifacts, and an exportable draft.

Use it at the start of a research thread, or when a chat assistant has reached the limit of its depth. Start a run, inspect what it found, continue in Basis, or hand the output to your preferred LLM, code agent, editor, or team.

The shape of a run

Question: A technical problem that needs more than a short answer.
Run: Iterative research with evidence, branch exploration, and checkpoints.
Output: A reviewable trail: findings, drafts, figures, calculations when needed, and exports.
Proof: Reviewed draft papers, proposals, and proof notes are on the examples page as full PDFs.

Good uses

A research assistant for the slow middle of technical work.

Deep research on a hard technical question. Ask the specific version of the problem and include the constraints that matter.
Literature review groundwork. Organize sources, claims, assumptions, and open questions before writing.
Research report drafting. Generate a reviewable draft and artifact package instead of a one-shot answer.
Technical handoff. Export the work for peer review, coding follow-up, manuscript polish, or continued research.

The limits

What Basis does, and what stays with you.

Every output is a hypothesis that still requires your review. Inspect the sources, the conclusions, and the artifacts before you rely on them; Basis cannot guarantee correctness, novelty, or completeness.

Basis creates a stronger research package for the next step. That next step can be another Basis cycle, a deep research pass on a follow-up question, or a handoff to the tools you already use.

The product works best when the question is serious enough that a quick answer would be too shallow, and concrete enough that a research run can make measurable progress.

Start with a question that deserves a real research run.

Review the examples, then run the first serious pass on a question of your own.
