Answers from your own books and recordings, with the page or minute they came from.
Answer a few quick questions, and we’ll email you to book your call.
A research machine
for your office.
Mazō is a workstation that reads your books, papers, and recorded lectures, answers questions about them, and cites the page each answer came from.
Ask where you wrote about it.
Mazō finds the pages and the interview.
You give Mazō your books, articles, and recorded interviews. Ask a question in plain words and it returns the pages of your own book and the minute of the interview that answer it, cited in Chicago or APA, with suggested edits to the chapter you are writing.
Twenty-five years of work,
searchable in one place.
Mazō 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.
