Amsterdam, Netherlands
What it is
LeapSpace is an AI-assisted research workspace for academic and industry research. It supports complex interdisciplinary searches, follow-up questions, and revisiting earlier queries. Deep Research creates reports that identify patterns, contradictions, and evidence gaps while showing the steps used. Writing Coach checks claims against recent research and highlights missing support without making automatic edits. Trust Cards connect claims with cited sources, and Claim Radar examines them across the wider research landscape. LeapSpace uses Scopus-indexed content, full-text articles and book chapters from Elsevier and participating publishers, plus curated funding data. Users can upload up to five PDFs per conversation. Reading Assistant works only with documents the user is entitled to access. Individual subscriptions include AI features in Mendeley Reference Manager; organization subscriptions list optional Scopus integration where available, SSO/SAML, administration, analytics, customer success, and customized onboarding. A 14-day free option requires no card. The yearly individual plan costs £250.00 per year; organizational pricing is on request.
