For the social & behavioral sciences
Develop a research question worth investigating
mYOOtics is named for maieutics (may‑OO‑tics) — the Socratic art of the midwife: you don't hand someone an idea, you help them give birth to their own. This coach works the same way: it questions your framing and helps you surface your own research question — its puzzle, the tension it resolves, the contribution it makes — but it never writes it for you.

Why researchers use it
The coach challenges — you do the thinking.
It won't write it for you
The coach pushes back instead of flattering you, and never hands over the question. You do the thinking — so the result is genuinely yours to defend.
Citations you can trust
Every reference comes from a verified search of real journals, not the model's memory. An automatic audit has surfaced zero hallucinated papers since June 2026.
It knows your field
Literature is drawn from 429 leading journals across 24 social- and behavioral-science disciplines — not the open web.
Disclosure-ready
Export a model-stamped transcript of exactly how you used AI — the kind of disclosure journals increasingly require.
Runs on an advanced model
Powered by an advanced Anthropic model, kept current as the frontier moves.
Free, and yours
Free to use — no account, no card. mYOOtics is non-commercial: it exists to widen access to good research questions, not to be sold — and the intent is to keep it free. Your research question stays yours, and your unpublished idea never leaves the research team.
