The research
workspace.
A single room where reading, thinking, mapping, and conversing happen at the same time. Each Studio is built around one site — a city, a monument cluster, a route segment. Switching studios swaps the entire working context.
A library that reads with you.
Drop in PDFs. SITU extracts chapters, abstract, and named entities, then indexes everything for retrieval — so a single query reaches across your entire shelf.
Every reference stays addressable down to the page and paragraph. Nothing is summarized away.
A conversation that cites itself.
Plain language in. Answers carry [Ref · §] tags that
jump straight to the page in your PDF — every claim is
traceable, every quote anchored.
Disagree with a paragraph? Open the source side-by-side and argue with it.
A map of every name.
People, places, dynasties, materials — automatically linked across all your references in one graph. Hover a name to light up every passage that touches it.
Most of the work in historical research is keeping the cast straight. The graph does that for you.
A canvas with no edge.
An open thinking surface. Wire prompts into image generators, 3D models, chained reasoning nodes — and keep the whole chain visible.
When a hypothesis grows beyond a chat thread, the canvas is where it goes to stretch out.
From your Studio to the public atlas.
Anything that leaves the Studio — a generated plan, a 3D reconstruction, a researched essay — can be submitted to the public atlas. Our reviewers check it. If it lands, it sits next to ours, with your name.
Heritage scholarship is too big for one team. We're building room to stand at the same table.
