Research with AI. Publish with conviction.
Thesis captures what you learn — as cited essays, connected ideas, and a growing map of how you think. AI does the research. You keep the understanding.
Research conversation
What's the evidence that spaced repetition actually improves long-term recall?
The strongest evidence comes from Cepeda et al. (2006), a meta-analysis of 184 studies showing distributed practice produces significantly better retention than massed practice…
How does that compare to active recall alone?

The Science of Spaced Repetition
Memory isn't a recording — it's a reconstruction. Every time we retrieve information, we strengthen the neural pathways that encode it. Spaced repetition exploits this mechanism deliberately…

Karpicke & Roediger — Science
We have more access to information than any generation in history — and less agreement on what's true. Feeds optimize for reaction. AI generates content endlessly. But none of it makes you think more clearly.
Thesis is built around a different idea: that understanding is something you build, not something you consume.
How it works
Explore
Open a conversation with AI about anything you want to understand. Ask the question you've been sitting with. Follow it wherever it leads.
Synthesize
One click turns your conversation into a structured, cited essay. Real sources — academic databases, quality journalism, primary records — verified and classified so every claim has a paper trail.
Publish
Four AI editor agents review your draft like a pull request — Clarity, Sources, Structure, Steelman. Accept or reject each suggestion. You're still the author. Then publish to your profile, your followers, and anyone with the link.
Introducing the Cortex
Every essay you publish feeds a personal network of ideas, connections, and reasoning patterns. It grows with you — and it's entirely under your control.
Your Cortex
21 insights
18 connections
3 traits
Every essay compounds
Each published piece extracts insights — atomic ideas that map into your Cortex automatically. More writing, more connections, more signal.
Patterns, not just data
Thesis detects how you think — reasoning tendencies, intellectual preferences, decision-making patterns — and surfaces them as Thinking Traits for you to accept, refine, or reject.
Fully yours, fully transparent
Edit any insight. Delete any node. Pause detection anytime. Your Cortex mirrors your mind — and you decide exactly what it reflects.
What we believe
We built around that.
Thesis doesn't start with a blank page. It starts with a question — and a research partner that follows it from every angle. The essay comes after, because that's how understanding actually works.
Every claim has a paper trail.
During synthesis, Thesis searches academic databases and quality journalism to find real sources for every factual claim. Each citation is classified by tier — from peer-reviewed journals to general web — so you always know what you're building on.
Chronological, always.
Your feed shows essays from people you follow, in the order they were published. No engagement weighting, no trending tabs, no notification loops. You choose what deserves your attention.
You're still the author.
Four AI agents review your draft — Clarity, Sources, Structure, and Steelman. Each one surfaces suggestions you can accept, reject, or ignore. The thinking is yours. The publish button is a deliberate act.
Not in an export. Not in Notion. Here.
Every published essay is permanently stored on your profile, shareable by link, and discoverable by topic. Your body of work accumulates over time — and so does your thinking. Each essay connects to the next.
A knowledge graph that grows with every essay.
Every essay you publish creates insights — atomic ideas extracted from your work. Thesis maps them into a personal Cortex: a living network of what you know, how your ideas connect, and how you reason. It's not a filing cabinet. It's a mirror for your mind.
Saves and highlights, not likes.
Save an essay to read later. Highlight a passage to mark what resonated. Start a new research conversation from any published piece. Every interaction rewards substance over performance.
The Feed
No algorithm. No engagement scores. No posts optimized for outrage. Just essays from people who sat with a question long enough to write something worth sharing.
Chronological, always. Follow the thinkers whose work you want more of. Save what resonates. Highlight the lines that stop you. Start your own conversation from anyone's essay.
This is what social media looks like when the incentive is understanding, not attention.
Chronological
No algorithmic ranking. Ever.
Saves & Highlights
No likes. No follower counts.
Conversation-first
Every essay is a starting point.
Source quality
During synthesis, Thesis searches academic databases, quality journalism, and primary records to find real sources for every factual claim. Every citation is classified into a quality tier — so readers always know what an essay is built on, not just what it says.
Essays earn a source badge: 🔬 Research-backed, 📰 News-sourced, or 💭 Perspective piece. These are content-type labels, not judgments — because a well-argued opinion built on honest reasoning is still worth reading.
