Data-driven science is in our DNA: While traditional LLMs rely on text and are prone to hallucinations, Heureka is built on empirical data analysis. We uncover patterns and associations directly from validated datasets, delivering insights grounded in measurable evidence rather than language models.
Suite of AI-powered research agents: Our specialized AI agents work together to accelerate every step of your research journey. From ARC's conversational guidance to QuartzReport's automated analysis, each tool is purpose-built for scientific discovery. Your data stays private while our agents analyze it alongside curated public datasets.
Built by researchers, for researchers: We started in a university lab and we understand the daily struggles of modern research - shrinking budgets, growing complexity, and overwhelming data. Every feature is battle-tested by our scientific team before release, ensuring our tools solve real problems, not hypothetical ones.
