Your research idea deserves a better starting point.
Before you spend months searching, reading, and writing, find out what the literature already knows, and where it stops. Gapnostic searches the literature, tests your idea against existing research, and helps you turn uncertainty into a defensible research direction.
No spam. Just early access and occasional product updates.
Built for researchers who don't want to discover the same thing twice.
You should not have to discover halfway through your proposal that somebody already answered your question.
Dozens of papers, no structure, and findings that were never designed to fit together.
The gap is the whole point, and it is the hardest thing to see from inside a pile of PDFs.
A general chatbot can give you an answer. Research needs more than an answer.
AI can help you think. Gapnostic helps you investigate.
Tell Gapnostic what you're thinking, even if the idea is still rough.
It searches the literature and examines how existing research relates to your idea.
What has already been studied, where findings overlap or conflict, and where questions remain open.
Turn what you find into a research direction you can actually defend.
See how closely your idea overlaps with existing research, and which papers you need to read.
Every paper's methods and findings side by side in one comparable table, with the sentence each answer came from.
Unanswered questions, contradictions, and the areas nobody has looked at properly yet.
Concrete research designs grounded in how other people actually studied the thing.
Trace any claim back to the paper behind it, without leaving the page. How to spot a made-up citation →
Searches, papers, findings and decisions in one place, private to you and yours to export.
Gapnostic is a research workspace that checks whether a research idea has already been done, organises the literature around it, and helps you design a method you can defend. It searches published academic literature, compares what it finds against your idea, and traces every claim it makes back to a real paper.
Researchers, postgraduate students and supervisors, in any discipline. It is most useful at the point where you have an idea but do not yet know whether it is worth committing to.
A general chatbot answers your question. Gapnostic investigates it. The papers come from a real academic index rather than from a model’s recollection, so the references exist, and every finding carries the sentence in the source it was drawn from.
No, and that is deliberate rather than a feature we have not built yet. Gapnostic does the reading, searching and cross-checking. The thinking and the writing stay yours, because those are the parts a degree certifies and the parts you have to defend.
From open academic indexes of published literature, with the DOI attached so you can check any of them yourself. Where only an abstract is available rather than the full text, Gapnostic says so instead of writing as though it read the whole paper.
Gapnostic is in private beta and access is by invitation. Join the waitlist and we will be in touch. Gapnostic is a product of Kairos Solution.
We're building Gapnostic with researchers who want a better way to move from idea, to evidence, to a research direction. Join the early-access list for access, updates, and a say in how it turns out.
