# Welcome to Oystack

Oystack is an evidence-backed AI research workspace. You can use it to build a source library, ask grounded questions across your materials, draft with citations, and trace how answers were formed.

Oystack is built for people who need more than a generic chatbot:

* Researchers reviewing papers and tracing evidence
* Students drafting literature reviews and assignments with citations
* Analysts organizing source material before writing
* Small teams building a shared research workflow
