EvidX
FAQ

Common questions.

How is EvidX different from Elicit, Consensus, or SciSpace?+

Other AI research tools answer one question and discard the work. EvidX keeps every finding as a structured, citable record. The same records power your tables, your draft sections, and your knowledge graph. One extraction, every view.

Why not just use Claude or Claude Code?+

Claude is excellent for chat and code. The thing it does not do: keep structured findings across all your projects, ground them to canonical entity identifiers, or aggregate hundreds of papers into a table without re-reading. EvidX is built around a persistent evidence database, so the work you do reading one paper compounds into your next project.

Will the AI replace reading the paper itself?+

It should not. EvidX is an evidence base, not a summarizer. You still read the papers that matter. EvidX makes sure the work you did reading them stays queryable later, ready to feed your next table, draft, or comparison.

Does it work outside biomedical research?+

Yes. EvidX generates a custom vocabulary from your publications, so the entities and relationships match your field. Built-in vocabularies cover biology, medicine, and a few adjacent areas today.

Where does the citation actually point?+

Every finding stores the verbatim passage and the page number. Click a citation in any table, plot, or draft, and the PDF viewer scrolls to the exact line, highlighted. No paraphrasing layer between the answer and the source.

Can the AI make things up?+

We enforce every finding at extraction time. If a finding cannot be traced to a verbatim quote in the source, we refuse to extract rather than risk your evidence base. The check runs server-side, not as a prompt rule the model can ignore.

Who can see my uploaded papers and chat history?+

Only you. Each project is isolated to your account.

What happens to my data when I delete something?+

Your data and files are protected. When you delete, we permanently remove them. No trash, no recovery, delete means delete.

Shared workspaces, SSO, on-prem?+

Single-user projects today. Lab workspaces with role-based access, single sign-on, on-prem deployment, and a data processing agreement are on the roadmap.

Can I import my existing library?+

Zotero import is in development. PDF upload works today. Bibliography sync lands during the pilot.
