Apr 21, 2025A: Hi, and thanks for your questions!
(1) Wonders indexes over 500M+ documents, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, technical literature, and global patent databases—giving you expansive reach beyond what typical library tools cover.
Wonders sources content across all geographies and any published academic and patent domain from physics, sustainability, business, engineering, consumer psychology, biology, botany, marketing, medicine, and more...
(2) We use a combination of leading models and our own. We currently don’t have any BYOK options since our pipeline is highly optimized to play into the strengths and behaviors of different models. Switching one out would probably reduce effectiveness and accuracy. It is something we offer for Enterprise custom deploys though.
(3) Unfortunately we do not integrate social sources or other types of grey literature.
(4) People use Wonders for different use-cases:
- Students: use Wonders to quickly find evidence for their essays and improve their grades
- Professionals: rely on Wonders for high quality information to fuel their work
- Researchers: save time staying on top of latest research, and conducting literature reviews extremely fast
- Educators: reduce supervision workloads and increase student autonomy from research projects to dissertation supervision
