Our Products
One Mission, Many Tools
From our flagship hosted research agent to free open-source tools you can run today — every K‑Dense product is built to accelerate real research.
K-Dense Web
PaidResearch. Analyze. Synthesize.
Our hosted AI research agent with access to 250+ databases, hundreds of thousands of on-demand tools, and native support for 200+ scientific data formats. Autonomously executes complex tasks across science, engineering, healthcare, finance, and beyond.
Faraday
Custom PricingThe AI co-scientist that lives in your lab
An AI co-scientist delivered as a laboratory instrument. Faraday brings frontier-grade research capability to the bench on hardware you own, so your data, structures, and results stay inside the building. Every outbound request is screened by a sovereignty gate, and questions for a frontier model wait for your approval.
K-Dense Enterprise
Custom PricingThe research agent, deployed your way
K-Dense for organizations: private deployments, custom integrations with your internal data and tools, dedicated support, and deployment inside the environment your own security team governs.

K-Dense BYOK
Your local AI co-scientist
A free, open-source research assistant called Kady that runs on your desktop with the models you choose: OpenRouter, your own API keys, supported AI subscriptions, or local models. It can answer directly, delegate bigger tasks to specialist agents, and run multiple chats in parallel.

Scientific Agent Skills
160+ ready-to-use scientific skills
A comprehensive collection of scientific and research skills for any AI agent that supports the open Agent Skills standard. Covers biology, chemistry, medicine, cancer genomics, drug-target binding, molecular dynamics, RNA velocity, geospatial science, time series forecasting, 78+ scientific databases, and more.
New free tool
Rigor Scan
Drop in a paper and see how completely it reports its design, statistics, materials, data and claims. Every result points to the evidence on the page, and the gaps can go straight to K‑Dense Web to fix.
- 74 published reporting checks, each linked to the sentence it rests on
- Statistics recalculated, references checked for retractions, problem cell lines flagged
- Your PDF is read in your browser and never uploaded; only its text is sent for checking, and nothing is saved
New free tool
Claimscape
Type a claim and see where the published literature stands on it: up to 300 of the most relevant PubMed abstracts, sorted by study design and plotted over time, so you can tell which kinds of evidence agree. The next steps can go straight to K‑Dense Web.
- Up to 300 PubMed abstracts read per map, each one opening on the sentence its verdict rests on
- Every study design summarized with a share for and a 95% interval
- Retracted papers removed; reviews shown but never counted
New free tool
Citation Telephone
Claims change as they pass from paper to paper. Pick a cited sentence and follow it back through the papers it cites, to see where it came from and what changed on the way. Fixes can go straight to K‑Dense Web.
- Every cited paper is read, in full when it's open access, and opens on the passage it's cited for
- Each hop shows whether the citing sentence matches its source, goes further or changes it
- Trails are followed back to an origin, a paper that doesn't say it, or one that's closed
The claim2024 · J Med Chem
“…nuclear PD-L1 can promote cell proliferation in an immune-dependent manner without interacting with PD-1.”

Passes it on2024 · Adv Sci (Weinh)

Origin2022 · Cancer Lett

Pantheon
Ask a science or research question and hear it argued by 80 minds at once: scientists, founders, philosophers and AI researchers, from Aristotle to Karpathy. You get the range of answers, the sources behind them, and the points the panel keeps coming back to.
- 80 personas answer in parallel, each in its own voice, in about a minute
- Replies grounded in cited web sources, then a consensus of where the panel agrees and splits
- Personas are built from each person's public writing; replies never come from the real people

What Researchers Say
From the People Doing the Work
“This platform is essentially providing me a dozen PhDs and postdocs in my pocket. I see myself as the PI, asking questions to my postdocs, and my postdocs just keep giving me the information. It’s a postdoc that never says ‘I don’t know.’”
“You upload a bunch of Excel spreadsheets and, without too much description, it figures out where the fold change is and then goes and does all the statistics. I thought it might struggle with figuring out all these columns, but it was remarkably good with that. It’s also much better at finding references than ChatGPT.”
“I was very impressed with the original reports it was able to generate — the workflow was solid in terms of the actual analysis it was doing. A workflow like that by hand would take me a week, two weeks. I didn’t mind letting it go off and think for seven hours, because the output was such high quality.”
Open Source
Built in the Open
We ship 10 open-source libraries, skills, and tools that anyone can use — with or without a K‑Dense account. From agent skills for scientific computing to a full desktop research assistant.
