About
What if AI could help researchers move from curiosity to discovery—faster, and with greater confidence?

 Recent findings show that while 84% of researchers use AI in their work, only 22% trust it (Researcher of the Future Report, Elsevier 2025). LeapspaceTM is designed to bridge that gap.

LeapSpace is the research-grade AI-assisted workspace that lets researchers work faster, think deeper and achieve more – all in one secure environment. Designed in collaboration with the scientific research community, LeapSpace blends responsible AI with transparency, human oversight, and a comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed, publisher-neutral full text and abstracts.

  • Reclaim time for big ideas: One secure workspace unites abstracts and full text, streamlining literature review and research tasks, so you can focus on discovery, not administration.
  • Cut through complexity: Deep Research Mode uncovers patterns, assumptions, and gaps in the literature, transforming complexity into clarity and helping you shape your research direction.
  • Retain privacy and security: Your search queries stay private, encrypted, and are never used to train large language models, supporting compliance and safeguarding your research data.
