Your reference manager stores papers. Know Fission turns them into structured knowledge.

For researchers who already manage papers in reference managers, Know Fission helps decompose each paper into inspectable knowledge units, relations, and source-backed ideas you can reuse across your research.

Early access for individual academic researchers. Pricing details will be shared as the product opens.

From papers to units

Break dense papers into inspectable knowledge units.

From units to relations

See how concepts, methods, evidence, and claims connect.

From reading to reuse

Build reusable knowledge across papers, not scattered notes.

Know Fission is not just a place to store papers.
It is a workspace for turning papers into structured, inspectable, and reusable knowledge.

How it works

How Know Fission works

Move from a single paper to a structured knowledge workspace in three steps.

01PDF uploaded

Upload a paper and wait for AI-assisted decomposition.

Start with a paper from your existing research workflow. Know Fission analyzes the paper and proposes structured knowledge units such as concepts, claims, mechanisms, methods, and evidence.

02Inspecting

Inspect the generated knowledge units inside a structured workspace.

Review the generated units as cards inside a workspace. See how ideas are grouped, how they relate, and which units need your attention before they become part of your research knowledge base.

03Reusable knowledge

Trace ideas to their sources and connect them across papers as reusable knowledge.

Open any knowledge unit to understand its context, trace it back to the paper, and connect it with related ideas from other papers. Over time, your reading becomes a connected knowledge system instead of isolated notes.

Pricing

Premium pricing for researchers who actively turn papers into reusable knowledge.

Know Fission is designed as a serious personal research workspace for researchers who read continuously, synthesize aggressively, and want their paper workflow to compound into structured knowledge.

Reusable knowledge across papers

Is this for labs or institutions?

The first version is focused on individual academic researchers. Team and lab workflows may come later, but the initial product is designed around a single researcher's reading and synthesis workflow.

Will there be a free trial or early access?

Early access will begin through the waitlist. Pricing details and access conditions will be shared before onboarding.

Is this replacing my reference manager?

No. Know Fission is designed for researchers who already manage papers elsewhere and want to turn those papers into connected, reusable knowledge.

Know Fission is being built as a personal research tool, something closer to a monthly research companion than an institutional platform.
