YOUR PERSONAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT
A clearer way to develop a research topic.
ResearchBuddy works alongside you when a topic feels unfamiliar, difficult or too broad. Each topic area brings its questions, answers, notes, evidence comparisons and references into one connected view.
Your assistant provides structured guidance, source pathways and practical next steps at the academic level you choose. You can then compare evidence, capture your own observations and format references while checking the original sources for yourself.

01 / THE PROBLEM
Research rarely starts with an answer. It starts with knowing where to look.
A search engine gives you a list of pages. ResearchBuddy organises a question into a readable starting point, shows the sources used during its web research and suggests what to investigate next.
It does not replace reading those sources or deciding what you think. It helps you move from an initial question towards your own informed work.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
From a first question to an organised topic area.
Create your topic area
Choose the subject, name the topic area and set the academic level for the work.
Shape and ask
Use Question Coach when you want help making the question clearer before research begins.
Examine the evidence
Review the structured answer, open its sources and compare relevant evidence side by side.
Build your own view
Capture notes, manage references and use the evidence to reach your own conclusion.
03 / YOUR RESEARCH TOOLKIT
Everything stays connected to the topic area.
Use the tools as your research develops. Creating topic areas, writing notes, comparing evidence and managing citations do not use research tokens.
A dashboard for every line of enquiry
See active topic areas in one place, reopen the work and archive a topic area when it is complete.
01Make the question more useful
Review a suggested improvement before you begin, then choose the stronger version or keep your own wording.
02See where sources agree and differ
Compare selected evidence across claims, methods, strengths and limitations, with room for your own observations.
03Capture what matters as you read
Save topic-area notes, connect them to a question and return to your thinking beside the research answer.
04Build a checked reference library
Store editable source details, flag missing information and format references in Harvard, APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago or OSCOLA.
05Verify, interpret and write
Open the original sources, confirm the details and decide what the evidence means before writing in your own words.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY BY DESIGN
The boundary is part of the product.
ResearchBuddy produces structured research notes and source pathways. It refuses requests for submission-ready coursework, direct exam answers or substantial copyrighted text.
