Acade.ai

Acade is an AI academic writing and research workspace for students, researchers, and professionals. Its official site connects topic exploration, literature discovery, evidence analysis, outlining, drafting, citations, translation, and refinement in one workflow. The product also includes a knowledge base, Deep Research, a Super Agent, and credit-based plans; users remain responsible for checking sources, methods, and conclusions.
