Any AI model

A research puzzle development tool that helps academics develop rigorous research questions grounded in real empirical anomalies. Rather than scanning for gaps in the literature, Scholarly Ideas uses Socratic dialogue to press a researcher's curiosity into a precise, contribution-ready puzzle — surfacing contemporary phenomena, challenging loose conceptualisations, and demanding empirical grounding at every turn.
