From research questionto verifiable result.
SciFound is a desktop workbench for computational science and engineering. Let an agent read papers and project files, create or revise project files, and use available tools within the permissions you grant—then inspect the files and clickable citations.

Beyond chat
Research needs a workbench, not a longer chat transcript.
SciFound brings projects, files, agents, terminals, and inspectable citations into one desktop environment. Assign real work and keep the outputs inside the project for inspection and reuse.
How it works
Four steps make a workflow you can continue.
Explore the productAssign the task
Describe the goal, source material, and constraints—without learning prompt syntax.
Let the agent work
Within your permissions, it reads materials, edits project files, and uses available tools.
Inspect the result
Open generated files and document citations, then continue or revise.
Real capabilities
Every step returns to your project.
01
Documents & citations
From papers to traceable understanding
Read project PDFs and DOCX files, then follow supported citations back to the relevant document location.02
Files & terminal
From source material to project files
Create or revise project files, use available terminal tools within scope, and keep results and failures visible.03
Inspect & continue
Continue from the actual file
Open file paths or document citations, inspect the source, and keep working without losing context.Local first
Your project starts on your machine.
Project files, conversations, and project memory are stored in the local workspace you choose. Content is transmitted only when required by a model or a networked or sharing action you explicitly enable.
Understand the data flowProject-scoped access
File operations stay within the current project boundary.
Visible model source
Know which source is active for the current task.
Inspectable outcomes
Generated files and citations return to real objects.
