Product

What is MuchSci?

MuchSci is an AI workspace for researchers. It brings together literature search, research office tools, researcher profiles, and research agents to help move work forward faster.

Which file formats does the knowledge base support?

You can import PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, MD, and other file formats.

Can I share a knowledge base?

Knowledge bases are personal by default and cannot be shared. Administrators can configure shared knowledge bases for team collaboration.

What is file management?

The file library stores documents, images, text, and other files generated by agents. You can preview and manage files, but cannot edit them there. My Shares connects to report sharing.

What is the personal database?

The personal database accepts heterogeneous data from multiple sources and more file formats than the knowledge base, including reports generated by AI meeting notes.

Does MuchSci offer researcher profiles?

Yes. MuchSci supports basic researcher lookup and profile analysis, and can combine multiple data sources with a language model to create a dynamic assessment. Try it to see the available features.

Literature search

How can I find relevant papers quickly with AI?

Describe your research question in the MuchSci chat. It breaks down the search, supports exact or fuzzy searches by title, author, or DOI, and filters by year or citation count.

How do I find a paper's DOI and complete its citation?

Enter the title or author. MuchSci returns matching papers and DOIs, then fills in authors, journal, year, volume, issue, and pages from sources such as Crossref.

Can MuchSci extract key information from papers?

Yes. It identifies each paper's question, methods, main findings, and limitations, and lets you export citations and key information.

Research office

How do I create a research presentation with AI?

Paste your outline into MuchSci and specify the slide count, style, and priorities. It creates a structured draft you can preview, revise, and export as an editable file.

Can the office assistant translate documents?

Yes. Translation supports 13 common languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and accepts DOCX, PDF, TXT, and MD. Downloads are currently TXT only.

What are AI meeting notes?

AI meeting notes support meetings, lectures, and classes with live recording and translation, AI summaries, transcript editing, and report generation.

How do I turn an outline into an editable PPT?

The office assistant agent can create an editable presentation from an outline. Preview and revise it, then export the PPTX file.

How can I prepare a research proposal presentation?

Use MuchSci's proposal template. Enter your topic, research question, and initial ideas to create a draft covering background, prior work, methods, and technical approach.

Research agents

What can research agents do?

They understand complex research requests, break them into steps, use literature databases, computing tools, and file generation, and preserve their work and results.

What does the cheminformatics agent include?

It combines RDKit, Datamol, PyTDC, MedChem, TorchDrug, and other tools. The agent chooses tools for molecular operations, descriptor calculations, and graph neural network predictions.

What can the clinical research and precision medicine agent do?

It combines NeuroKit2, DepMap, PyHealth, and other tools for medical science to support physiological signals, precision cohort analysis, and medical deep learning.

What analyses does the bioinformatics agent support?

It combines more than 20 tools, including pathway-enrichment, scanpy, flowio, tiledbvcf, bulk-rnaseq, etetoolkit, deeptools, arboreto, anndata, phylogenetics, pysam, biopython, bioservices, scikit-bio, geniml, zarr-python, gget, polars-bio, pydeseq2, gtars, scvi-tools, and scvelo, across the full spectrum of omics analysis.

Can I follow an agent's progress?

Yes. You can see its progress and interrupt it at any time. Decision cards may ask for your confirmation before the AI continues.
