Merged summary
TL;DR - AskChem is a claim-centered chemistry literature system that retrieves atomic findings with source evidence instead of ranked paper lists. It helps scientists and AI agents synthesize cross-paper answers with stronger provenance and citation grounding.
- Indexes 2.4 million typed claims from 147,000 papers, each linked to a DOI and supporting quote or evidence locator.
- Supports retrieval through a faceted taxonomy, an evidence graph, and an exploratory taxonomy organized by scientific principles.
- Provides web, REST, SDK, and MCP interfaces for human and agent workflows.
- On AskChem-Bench, AskChem-grounded GPT-5.5 produced 100% resolvable DOIs versus 88.3% without retrieval and achieved the highest citation density among five systems.
