Research with AI. Publish with conviction.
Have a research conversation with AI. Synthesize it into a cited, editor-reviewed essay. Publish something worth reading.
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 are designed for reaction, not reflection. AI can generate content endlessly, but understanding still takes effort.
Thesis is built around a different idea: that the effort is the point.
How it works
Explore
Open a conversation with AI about anything you want to understand. No blank page — just a question and a research partner that meets you where you are.
Synthesize
One click transforms your conversation into a structured, cited essay. Real sources from academic databases and quality journalism — found, verified, and classified automatically.
Publish
Four AI editor agents review your draft. You accept or reject each suggestion. Then you publish — to your profile, your followers' feeds, and anyone with the link.
What we believe
We built around that.
Thesis doesn't start with a blank page. It starts with a question — and an AI research partner that helps you explore it from every angle. The essay comes after, because understanding comes first.
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 surfaces suggestions you can accept, reject, or undo. The final publish button is a deliberate act, not an afterthought.
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 — a library of what you've learned and argued.
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.
Source quality
During synthesis, Thesis searches constrained domains to find real sources for factual claims — starting with academic databases, then quality journalism, then the open web. Every citation is classified into a quality tier so readers always know what they're looking at.
Essays earn a badge based on their citation profile: 🔬 Research-backed, 📰 News-sourced, or 💭 Perspective piece. Content-type labels, not quality warnings — because a well-argued opinion is still valuable.

On Thesis
#Technology
Automating busywork doesn't free us — it just moves the bottleneck to decision-making. The real question is what we do with the time we reclaim.

#Science
The system designed to ensure rigor has become a bottleneck for progress. Open review, post-publication audit, and AI-assisted screening offer a way forward.

#Culture
What if a social platform optimized for depth instead of engagement? The answer isn't no technology — it's different incentives.
