What is Neutropic?

Neutropic is an AI research agent for the human sciences. It runs whole research tasks — literature review, experiment design, data analysis, statistics, figures, writing and review — and leaves reproducible artifacts in your session.

One session, one study

You work in a chat session. Each message you send is a turn. Instead of answering with prose only, a turn runs a workflow skill: it asks clarifying questions when needed, searches the literature or runs code in a built-in Python kernel, checks its own work with a reviewer, and saves the results as artifacts — reports, tables, figures, manuscripts — that stay attached to the session.

A finished literature turn: progress on the left, the report opened in the artifact panel on the right.
A finished literature turn: progress on the left, the report opened in the artifact panel on the right.

Because every turn in a session sees the earlier artifacts, you can move through a study in order: the design turn reads the literature report, the statistics turn reads the uploaded data and the analysis plan, the writing turn cites everything above it.

The six stages

StageWhat you ask forWhat you get
Literature/research a questionScreened evidence table, report with numbered citations, citation graph
Research designHypotheses, an experimentRanked hypotheses; design report with protocol flow and power analysis
Data analysis/analyze an uploaded fileData-quality check, explicit analysis plan, reproducible report with figures
Statistics/stats a hypothesisAssumption checks, the justified test, effect sizes with CIs and achieved power
Figures/figure or /illustrateEditable vector diagrams and scientific illustrations
Writing & review/write, /reviewMethods/Results drafts tied to session evidence; an independent review report

See Run tasks for each one, or follow the step-by-step walkthroughs on the blog.

What makes it different

  • Skills, not prompts. Every task runs a validated pipeline — the right searches, the right assumption checks, the right output format. Browse the skill catalog.
  • Reproducible by default. Analyses run as real code; every artifact keeps the code and inputs that produced it. See Reproducibility & export.
  • Reviewed. A separate reviewer checks claims, statistics and citations before a turn finishes, and you can run a full review on any manuscript.
  • Your language. The interface and the agent's answers follow the language you choose — English, 한국어, 日本語 or 中文. See Language settings.
  • Local first when you want it. With the desktop app you can run local models and keep files on your machine; your own API keys are always free to use.
