Curie
Curie is a unified research platform that consolidates reading, note-taking, organizing, and discussion of papers, books, and articles into a single workspace. Its agentic search feature lets users ask research questions in plain language, plans the search across open-access papers and RSS feeds, and cites exact passages that answer the query. The platform also includes passage-level reactions, author profiles, and text-to-speech conversion for listening on any device.

Problem
Research work is fragmented and disconnected: reading happens in one application, note-taking in another, writing in a third, and the connections between sources live only in the researcher's head. This fragmentation makes it difficult to track what matters, follow discussions attached to specific passages, and build systematically on prior work.
Solution
Curie provides a unified research platform where reading, listening, organizing, and discussing papers, books, and articles all happen in one space. An agentic search feature lets users ask real research questions in plain language, plans the search across open-access papers and RSS feeds, reads the results, and cites the exact passages that answer the query. The platform includes a library organized into customizable Spaces, typed reactions on specific passages, comment threads attached to the work they belong to, and author profiles showing publications, citations, and activity over time. Users can also convert papers and notes into natural audio for listening on any device, and write notes directly beside sources in the same reader. AI assistants work in the margin of documents rather than in a separate tab, keeping all research activity connected.
Target Audience
Primary users are researchers, graduate students, and academics across disciplines including science, history, law, and biology, as well as curious minds who engage in serious inquiry and need a consolidated workflow for reading and building on scholarly work.
Features
- Agentic search that plans queries, reads results across open-access papers and RSS channels, and cites exact answer passages rather than returning keyword hits
- Unified library supporting papers, books, and articles organized into user-controlled Spaces with nested collections and drag-and-drop organization
- Passage-level reactions (e.g., "central claim," "needs source," "disagree") with anonymous counts and a heatmap visualization, letting readers see community response without prior bias
- Author profiles with publications, citations, activity timeline, and ORCID integration, enabling users to follow researchers behind the work
- Text-to-speech conversion of papers and notes into natural audio with section scrubbing and speed adjustment across devices
