A research machine
for your office.

Gedō is a workstation that reads your books, papers, and recorded lectures, answers questions about them, and cites the page each answer came from.

from its own archive.

Eighty seconds: a drive goes in, a question is asked, and Gedō opens the page and the second of the recording each answer came from, then suggests an edit you accept.

Filmed in the Gedō workspace with sample archives. Every person and document in them is fictional.

We build research tools you can check. The machine sits in your office, your archive stays on it, and every answer names the page it came from.

Twenty-five years of work,
searchable in one place.

Gedō indexes every monograph, article, and recorded lecture you give it. Ask a question in plain language and it returns the passage with a Chicago or APA citation.

One archive.
One machine.

The archive,
at your desk.

Every answer cites its source.

Gedō gives the book, chapter, and page, or the recording and the second it was said. You check the source before it goes into a manuscript.
