Everything a research agent should do

Not a chatbot with a search button. A system that plans, retrieves, verifies, and acts.

Plans before it fetches

A complex question becomes a list of sub-questions. Each one gets the right model and the right tool, run in parallel where possible.

Cites everything

No claim without a source. Inline citations let you click through to the exact page the agent read.

18 search modes

Web, academic papers, X, Reddit, GitHub, stocks, crypto, YouTube and more. Each mode is tuned for a different kind of source.

116 models

Grok, Claude, GPT, Gemini and more, switchable mid-conversation. Use whichever one fits the question.

Acts in 100+ apps

Connect apps via MCP and Scira can open a PR, post to Slack, or update a Notion page. The work does not end at the answer.

Runs on a schedule

Lookouts watch a topic for you daily or weekly. They check back, notice changes, and email what shifted.

What people say

Real posts from real users on X.

Better than Grok at digging up information from X. Insanely accurate answers.

Does a really good job scraping through the reddit mines.

Searched for myself in extreme mode. Not just the best, it's wild. And 100% accurate.

Read nothing the whole sem and topped my mid-sems with Scira. Diagrams, points, topics, all there.
