About nexcite

nexcite is a citation-first AI research assistant: upload your papers, reports, slides, spreadsheets or images and ask questions, and every answer is anchored to the exact source passage it came from. It extracts 20+ citation metadata fields per source and formats one-click citations in 16 academic styles including APA, Chicago, MLA and IEEE, telling you plainly when something is not in your documents. Built in Switzerland and hosted in the EU, it never uses your files for training.
