AI research assistant for literature reviews, theses, and papers
Mindmap your research.
Find, organize, and synthesize evidence across your research library. Build arguments grounded in your sources, with every claim traceable to the page that supports it.

Tap a claim on the map, then its citations button.
Build a better argument
Organize your thinking in a mindmap that evolves with your research.
Build a defensible mindmap with page-level citations.
Add your papers
Upload PDFs or send a Zotero collection. Agent Bayes reads every page, so you can search your library by meaning.
Draft claims from several sources
The agent writes one claim and pins it to every paper that supports it.
Grow and restructure your map
Ask for a new branch, or move claims yourself. The map grows as you read.
Compare saved versions over weeks
Save a version before each supervisor meeting, then see what changed.
Turn branches into cited prose
Select a branch and ask for a paragraph. The citations come along.
Outline your draft from the map
Ask the agent to reshape the map into your paper's sections.
Open the page behind claims
Click a citation to open the PDF at the exact page and passage.
Check citations support your wording
AI verification scores how well the cited passages back your claim.
Search your library, cite manually
Search your papers by meaning and attach the passage you pick.

Misalignment is an AI system's propensity to use its capabilities in ways that conflict with human intentions, values, or societal norms.

Questions researchers ask first
Can the AI invent a citation?
It cannot cite a source you did not add. Agent Bayes rejects any citation that is not a passage from your library. The agent can still word a claim loosely, so every citation opens the PDF at its page for you to check.
How search worksHow is this different from NotebookLM?
NotebookLM answers questions about your sources and shows the passage too. Agent Bayes is built for a long project: the findings become a map of claims you edit for months, with saved versions, Zotero sync, and conflicting findings kept as separate claims.
Is my unpublished work private?
Your files and everything built from them are visible only to your account. Text goes to our AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) only to run your task, and their API terms bar training on it. We do not train models on your research either.
Privacy policy, section 5Is it allowed under my university's AI rules?
Rules differ, so check your institution's policy. Agent Bayes works only on papers you add and shows the page behind each claim, so you can disclose exactly how you used it. Do not upload a manuscript you are peer reviewing.
What does the Free plan include?
50 credits every month once you verify your email. A 20-page paper costs about 7 credits to add, and a question usually costs a few, so that is about five papers and several questions. One library of up to 20 papers, Zotero sync, no card.
Compare plansWhat does a paid plan cost?
Starter is $11 a month billed yearly ($132), with 600 credits a month, libraries of up to 50 papers, all AI models, and AI verification, which scores how well each passage backs your wording. Pro ($39 a month) and Max ($89 a month), billed yearly, add credits. Paid plans cancel anytime.
Cancellation and refund termsDoes it work with Zotero and scanned PDFs?
Yes. Send a collection with the Agent Bayes plugin for Zotero, or upload PDFs directly. Scanned pages are read with text recognition, so older books and photocopies work too.
Zotero pluginWho is behind Agent Bayes?
ArchaeoMind Ltd., a group of researchers and software engineers in Israel. We built Agent Bayes for our own literature work, where every claim has to trace back to the page it came from.
What do I need to get started?
A few PDFs on your topic and a question. Sign up, add the papers, and ask. The quickstart guide walks through your first map.

not from memory
Add a few papers, ask your first question, and keep your claims tied to the pages that support them.
