Fynman is different. Your research never leaves your desktop.
Real researchers, real breakthroughs, real privacy protection.
I had 700 papers in Zotero for my systematic review. I knew I was missing patterns, but there's no way to see connections manually. Fynman found 12 papers that contradicted my hypothesis — papers I had read individually but never connected.
Finally, a secure AI platform I trust. My sensitive research stays local, and I get outstanding AI support that actually understands my workflow.
Since using Fynman, I've published 40% more papers and spotted patterns that became the foundation for two grants. It's like having a senior researcher looking over your shoulder.
