Your AI Research Partner That Actually Cites Its Sources

Skip the sources that don’t hold up, spend your reading time on the ones that do, and build literature reviews you can defend, all in one workspace.
How CoChat solves it

Everything You Need
From First Paper to Final Defense

Search Real Papers

Query CrossRef, OpenAlex, PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CORE, and DOAJ in a single search.

Verified Citations

Every DOI is verified against CrossRef in real time. Fabricated references are flagged automatically.

Literature Review Tables

Create structured review tables with custom columns — method, sample size, findings, whatever your advisor wants.

Study Tools

Turn any paper, lecture notes, or syllabus into flashcard decks with cloze deletion and spaced repetition. Export to Anki.

Project Knowledge Base

Drop your PDFs, papers, and notes into a project. CoChat indexes everything and makes it searchable, so you can find, connect, and build on what you've already read.

Memory

CoChat remembers your topic, your sources, your methodology, and your preferences — across every conversation.

Your AI research toolkit

Cite with confidence.
Check the work
yours, or anyone’s.

CoChat verifies every quote, paraphrase, and DOI against CrossRef and Semantic Scholar — so theses, lit reviews, and peer reviews go out citation-clean.

Lit reviews that hold up.

Every claim auto-checked against the source. Disputed quotes flagged before submission.

Faculty-grade reviews.

Drop in a draft. Get back a paper-by-paper verification map for thesis defense or peer review.

Student work, scored.

Reviewing a classmate’s draft, or your own before submission? See what’s misattributed, weakly paraphrased, or fabricated, then read the passages that matter.

A real audit trail.

Every check timestamped, every source preserved. Export the chain of evidence.

FAQ

1. What is the best AI tool for academic research?
The best AI research tools search real academic databases and verify every citation. CoChat searches CrossRef, OpenAlex, PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CORE, and DOAJ in a single query — and checks every DOI against CrossRef before it reaches your draft.
2. How do I check if an AI-generated citation is real?
Look up the DOI manually on doi.org, or use a tool with built-in verification. CoChat checks every DOI against CrossRef automatically and flags fabricated or disputed citations before you cite them.
3. Can AI make flashcards from my notes?
Yes. CoChat generates flashcard decks with cloze deletion and spaced repetition from any uploaded document — lecture notes, PDFs, or papers. Decks export to Anki for offline study.
4. What AI tools help with literature reviews?
CoChat builds structured literature review tables with custom extraction columns, verifies every paper against Semantic Scholar and CrossRef, and exports to BibTeX, RIS, or CSV. You can tag, filter, and sort papers without a spreadsheet.
