What counts as a major run?

One major run is one full Ontavia Research cycle or one full manuscript review in Ontavia Writer. Routine searches, edits, and citation work are included.

Can I use both workspaces?

Yes. The Bundle Deal combines Research and Writer under one discounted monthly plan with a shared major-run allowance.

What if I need more major runs?

You can add 10 major runs for $29 per month without changing your plan.

Research + WriterDiscover · Synthesize · Draft · Review

From research question to manuscript, with the evidence still in view.

Ontavia connects literature discovery, synthesis, analysis, and writing across two focused workspaces. Specialized agents do focused work; you inspect the sources, shape the output, and decide what advances.

Connected sources

Built on the literature your field already cites.

Retrieval runs against established research databases, so the evidence base is material you can check rather than text a model recalled.

The problem / Ontavia's answer

Research slows down when context disappears.
Ontavia keeps the work connected.

Not by hiding the process behind one answer, but by keeping focused tools, evidence, and human decisions in the same working path.

Problem
The workflow is split across disconnected tools.
Ontavia's answer
One connected research context
Research brings discovery, corpus building, mapping, synthesis, statistics, and evidence artifacts together. Reviewed context can then move into Writer beside the draft.
Problem
The path from a draft back to its sources disappears.
Ontavia's answer
Sources remain available for inspection
Citations, source metadata, evidence tables, and research context stay visible around the work so researchers can review support instead of reconstructing it later.
Problem
A general assistant is asked to do every kind of research work.
Ontavia's answer
Specialists contribute; people decide
Focused agents support retrieval, synthesis, analysis, review, and writing. Their outputs stay editable, and consequential decisions remain with the researcher or author.

One path from question to reviewed outputSee how the workflow works

Two workspaces

Find the evidence.
Then write from it.

Research and Writer are focused workspaces connected by an inspectable evidence workflow. Use either on its own, or carry work across both.

ONTAVIA / RESEARCH

Build a defensible view of a field.

Open Research

Define an editable query, corpus, and Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) codes; retrieve literature across federated sources; then inspect relationships, weigh evidence, identify gaps, and develop a deep synthesis with provenance kept in view.

Core capabilities

Research scope: Editable query, working corpus, and ENA codes.
Federated retrieval: Literature retrieval across PubMed, OpenAlex, and other connected sources.
Citation structure: Paper citation networks and forward-citation neighborhoods.
Evidence analysis: ENA hierarchy, evidence weighting, and research-gap inspection.
Topic Atlas: Scatter and radial views for exploring the shape of a field.
Deep synthesis: Narrative, tables, figures, and a publication map assembled from the evidence base.

How it works

Six stages from question to submitted manuscript.

Specialized agents contribute throughout. People decide what advances, what changes, and what leaves the workspace.

How the evidence stays visible

Inspect what supports the work.
Keep judgment human.

Ontavia keeps source context, citations, research artifacts, and proposed revisions available for review. It does not turn agent output into approved research: people decide what enters the corpus, what changes, and what leaves the workspace.

Agent output remains advisory until reviewed.

What each workspace does

Two surfaces.
One working context.

The public Ontavia platform consists of Research and Writer. Each has a distinct job; the evidence thread connects them.

Discovery

Find and bring relevant source material into a working evidence context.

Who it's for

Whatever the scale,
the evidence still holds.

Start with the workflow you need today. Keep the same evidence discipline as the work expands from one researcher to a full program.

Individual researchers

Keep discovery, notes, synthesis, and writing in one inspectable path.

Research teams

Coordinate specialist agents and human review around a shared evidence base.

Institutions

Give research programs a consistent workflow for provenance, review, and export.

Pricing

Choose your pace.
Keep the work predictable.

Three monthly plans, one connected workspace path, and major workflow runs you can understand before you begin. Allowances are provisional while compute costs are validated.

Investigator starts at about $1.63 per day, with 10 full Research cycles or manuscript reviews plus routine searches, edits, citations, and exports.
