Overview

Edison Scientific is the commercial spinout of FutureHouse. We build AI agents that do scientific research: reading papers, analyzing data, forming hypotheses, and producing cited reports. The platform is available today at platform.edisonscientific.com.

What the platform does

The Edison Platform is a single environment for scientific R&D. It brings together literature synthesis, data analysis, molecular design, and novelty assessment through a set of specialized agents. The goal is straightforward: take research tasks that currently take scientists weeks or months and compress them substantially.

The agents

Kosmos is our flagship AI Scientist. Given a research objective and one or more datasets, Kosmos autonomously reads literature, writes and executes analysis code, generates hypotheses, and produces a comprehensive cited report. A single run involves reading ~1,500 papers and executing ~42,000 lines of code. Every conclusion is fully auditable. You can trace any finding back to the specific code or literature passage that produced it. Our beta users estimated that a Kosmos run accomplishes work equivalent to roughly 6 months of a PhD or postdoctoral scientist.

Literature handles literature search and synthesis. It accesses 175M+ papers, trials, and patents with native understanding of citation graphs, journal quality, and clinical trial data. You can ask it a complex scientific question and get a high-accuracy, cited response, or task it with a deep literature review synthesizing conflicting evidence across hundreds of papers.

Analysis specializes in processing complex experimental data, including flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and other biological datasets. It turns raw data into detailed analyses, statistical results, and publication-ready figures.

Precedent determines whether a research idea has been tried before. It searches across fields to assess novelty and identify gaps, helping you avoid duplicating existing work and focus on what's actually new.

Molecules is a chemistry-focused agent for molecular design and analysis.

Access

Edison maintains a generous free tier for academics. Researchers who need higher rate limits or additional features can subscribe to paid plans. If you run into issues or want to learn more, reach out at [email protected].
