Academic researchers needing a tool to accelerate deep scientific inquiry and large-scale data analysis by automating literature synthesis and hypothesis generation
About Kosmos
Kosmos is the next-generation “AI Scientist” developed to perform autonomous discovery by reading vast amounts of scientific literature and executing code to reach novel conclusions. It uses structured world models to efficiently incorporate information gathered over hundreds of agent trajectories and maintain coherence throughout tens of millions of tokens, thereby transcending the context-length limits of earlier language-model-based tools. A typical Kosmos run might read about 1,500 papers and execute 42,000 lines of analysis code, enabling it to perform in one day what beta users estimated would take a human scientist six months. Its outputs are fully traceable; each conclusion in a Kosmos report can be linked to the specific lines of code and passages in the literature that inspired it, allowing for full auditability of its reasoning.

Edison Analysis
Edison Analysis is a next-generation scientific data-analysis agent built by Edison Scientific. It is the analytical engine underpinning their AI Scientist platform, Kosmos, and it’s available both on Edison’s platform and via API. Edison Analysis performs complex scientific data analysis by iteratively building and updating Jupyter notebooks in a dedicated environment; given a dataset plus a prompt, the agent explores, analyzes, and interprets the data to provide comprehensive insights, reports, and visualizations, very much like a human scientist. It supports execution of Python, R, and Bash code, and includes a full suite of common scientific-analysis packages in a Docker environment. Because all work is done within a notebook, the reasoning is fully transparent and auditable; users can inspect exactly how data was manipulated, which parameters were chosen, how conclusions were drawn, and can download the notebook and associated assets at any time.

FutureHouse
FutureHouse is a nonprofit AI research lab focused on automating scientific discovery in biology and other complex sciences. FutureHouse features superintelligent AI agents designed to assist scientists in accelerating research processes. It is optimized for retrieving and summarizing information from scientific literature, achieving state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like RAG-QA Arena's science benchmark. It employs an agentic approach, allowing for iterative query expansion, LLM re-ranking, contextual summarization, and document citation traversal to enhance retrieval accuracy. FutureHouse also offers a framework for training language agents on challenging scientific tasks, enabling agents to perform tasks such as protein engineering, literature summarization, and molecular cloning. Their LAB-Bench benchmark evaluates language models on biology research tasks, including information extraction, database retrieval, etc.

Edison Scientific
Edison Scientific is an AI platform designed to automate and accelerate scientific research, enabling users to move from hypothesis to validated results within a single environment. The platform integrates literature synthesis, data analysis, and molecular design workflows, allowing research teams to complete end-to-end scientific investigations at dramatically increased speed. At its core is Kosmos, an autonomous research system that performs hundreds of research tasks in parallel, transforming multimodal datasets into comprehensive reports with validated findings and publication-ready figures. Kosmos synthesizes scientific literature, public databases, and proprietary datasets, identifies novel therapeutic targets, uncovers biological mechanisms, and supports the iterative design and optimization of molecular candidates. Validated in real research settings, Kosmos has demonstrated the ability to achieve results that typically require months of human effort in a single day.

scienceOS
scienceOS is an AI-powered research platform built to accelerate scientific literature workflows by giving researchers fast, reliable access to a massive database, more than 225 million research papers via a chat-based interface. The core “AI science chat” lets you ask questions, get answers grounded in published literature, and even generate tables or diagrams summarizing findings. If you upload PDFs, the “multi-PDF chat” can parse up to eight documents per session and extract key passages, figures, and tables to help you digest papers quickly; it can also generate structured summaries of papers (e.g., intro, methods, conclusions), highlighting main findings, limitations, and key data. Alongside that, scienceOS includes an AI reference manager; you can store and organize up to 4,000 PDFs or citations in a personal or shared library, import external references (e.g., from Zotero), and chat with your own collection, useful for drafting literature reviews and building bibliographies.
