Scira

Scira is an agentic research platform. You ask a question, upload a PDF or paste a URL, and the agent breaks it into steps, searches live sources, cross-checks the evidence and returns an answer with inline citations you can click to verify.

Scira has many search modes and tools: parallel web search through Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel and Tavily, a deep research mode with multi-step planning and code execution, academic search, Reddit search and more. Lookouts schedule recurring research agents that watch topics and email you updates. You can use it at scira.ai or self-host it with your own models and tools.

Scira is an open alternative to AI answer engines, so you can see how answers are found and run it yourself. It's AGPL-licensed.
