Axy is a scientific knowledge platform that helps research labs build and share a living map of their field. It turns published papers into a concept-level knowledge graph, linking ideas while keeping each connection tied to its source. Researchers can ask questions in plain language and explore relevant concept clusters, connections, bridges, and gaps across the literature. This makes it easier to understand how ideas relate and what a newcomer to a field may be missing.

Axy is designed to preserve knowledge that might otherwise remain in individual researchers’ heads or be lost during staff changes. Its collaborative workflow lets teams submit changes for review before they are added to the graph, helping labs build a shared resource over time. The service also offers a desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with guidance for team collaboration and contributions through the graph canvas. Axy publishes articles and product updates, and provides a Discord community featuring journal clubs, discussions, graph sharing, and opportunities to suggest what research areas should be mapped next.
