Inquisite is an AI-native platform that brings together deep research, automated document creation and smart editing. Quickly find and synthesize trusted, expert information and easily build reports, articles, presentations and proposals.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
We're thrilled today to launch Inquisite, the unified AI-powered platform for deep research and smart document creation. Inquisite is the most powerful way to research even the most complex topics and build research-backed documents such as research reports, presentations or articles.
💡 The Problem
Suppose you want to write a technical presentation comparing the performance of different LLM architectures. Or build a research-backed report on enrollment trends in US higher education. Conducting the research typically involves scrolling through lists of somewhat-relevant links in Google or similar search tool and trying to guess which ones will be worth the time to read. After finally identifying some useful sources, you need to synthesize the right bits of information from each into a document. Building the document then involves constant switching between your word processor, sources scattered across your browser tabs, and perhaps an AI model like ChatGPT thrown in for writing help. It's a clunky, time-consuming process with no guarantee that at the end of the day you've even captured the best information out there.
🎯 Our Solution
At the core of Inquisite is a powerful agentic AI research engine, which acts like a trained human research assistant:
1) It determines where to look for information based on your queries
2) It performs an initial wide search for relevant sources
3) It reviews each source to determine relevancy
4) It scores sources based on relevancy and credibility
5) It ranks and selects a final set, and synthesizes them for you
Our smart writing interface is built on top of the research engine. It can create first drafts based on its research for you to build on, and assist you in adding and editing content as you write.
✍️ We built Inquisite to solve the challenges we ourselves have faced around research in both the academic and industry worlds. Knowledge workers - researchers, analysts, educators, consultants etc. - spend a lot of time searching for and distilling information to drive decision-making. Our goal with Inquisite is to make it easy to find insights based on credible, trusted sources and then synthesize those insights into documents. We'd love for you to try it (it's free to try) and let us know your feedback!
@david_patrykowski thanks for the positive feedback! We have our own database of academic research papers, technical and scientific reports. We also use a curated subset of trusted sources from the web. We are evaluating other sources of reliable information to add to Inquisite as well.
How does this differentiate from other AI-powered search engines? (I think this is an awesome tool! I am not an AI-genius so I would love an explanation)
@sarah_piephoff great question and thanks for the good feedback! There are three main differences:
1) Inquisite uses an advanced search process that resembles the process a human researcher would go through - working through multiple stages of searching for sources, reviewing each, scoring, filtering and then synthesizing to build an answer. Other AI-powered search engines e.g. Perplexity use a much simpler search process that is less likely to find the right set of results.
2) Inquisite looks for information in multiple different places - e.g. our database of academic papers, technical & scientific reports - while AI search engines generally just perform a web search
3) Inquisite also provides a detailed table of sources, including scores for relevancy and credibility and AI-generated highlights of each source, while other AI search engines just return a list of source links.
