# SPARKIT

> A scientific research agent API. SPARKIT searches the web and scientific literature, reads and compares evidence, runs calculations or code when needed, and returns an inspectable cited report.

SPARKIT is designed for developers calling research from an agent, backend, or scientific workflow. A human-facing research interface is also available in the SPARKIT dashboard.

## Core capabilities

- Search web sources and scientific literature
- Read papers, PDFs, and web pages
- Compare evidence and identify caveats
- Write and execute code for calculations and analysis
- Return Markdown reports with inline citations and structured sources when literature evidence is relevant
- Run asynchronously through polling or webhooks

## Important limitations

SPARKIT is an LLM-driven system and can be wrong. Citations may be misattributed, sources may be summarized inaccurately, and conclusions may overstate the evidence. Verify cited sources before using an output for clinical, regulatory, legal, or other high-stakes decisions.
