Feed it your papers · get back synthesis, pressure-tests, and sharper arguments
You need to research & analyze. Deep research with local AI. The Research Forge delivers 7 purpose-built tools in a single HTML file.
The Research Forge is a self-contained, browser-based research synthesis and critique studio delivered as a single HTML file. It organises academic thinking around a central source library: upload documents, chunk them automatically, then explore them through seven interconnected tools. Sources holds your raw material — papers, grant drafts, review articles, methodology notes. Deep Dive generates structured analysis of any document. Lenses applies research frameworks (methodological, theoretical, evidential, impact) across your entire corpus. Synthesize finds connections between documents you hadn't seen. Notes is a scratchpad linked to your sources. History tracks every AI interaction for review. Settings configures your LLM provider. Your unpublished drafts, grant applications, and research notes never leave your machine.
WHAT'S INSIDE
7 tools in a single HTML file
Deep Dive
Select any document and generate structured research analysis — methodology critique, evidence strength, theoretical gaps, replication concerns. Ask follow-up questions. Go deeper than a peer review allows.
Lenses
Apply research frameworks across your entire corpus: methodological lens (is it rigorous?), theoretical lens (does it cohere?), evidential lens (what does the data actually show?), impact lens (does it matter?). Each lens reveals something the others miss.
Synthesize
Find connections between documents — contradictions between studies, gaps in the literature, converging evidence from different methodologies. The tool that shows you what Reviewer 2 will ask.
