A living homepage that shows its work

The homepage now demonstrates Alfred instead of describing it: a 3D constellation of papers and citations drifts behind the hero, the chat vignette draws an ink thread from its citation to the exact source passage, verifiable numbers count up, and the roadmap shows what recently shipped - pulled live from this changelog.

A living homepage that shows its work

The homepage now demonstrates what Alfred does instead of just describing it - and backs every claim with something you can check.

What changed

  • A constellation of papers and the citations connecting them now drifts gently in three dimensions behind the hero, leaning softly toward your cursor. Research, drawn as a night sky.
  • The hero conversation now plays out properly: Alfred composes its answer, the citation appears, and an ink thread draws from the “p. 12” chip to the exact highlighted passage on the paper behind - the core promise, shown rather than asserted.
  • The chat input cycles through real research questions, typed out character by character.
  • A new proof strip counts up numbers you can verify in the product: 250M+ scholarly works reachable by DOI lookup, 6 citation styles, 14 submission guideline checks, and the 7-day trial.
  • The roadmap now includes a “Recently shipped” row pulled live from this changelog, so our promises sit next to our receipts.
  • Testimonials carry real names and real universities, and the closing invitation echoes them.
  • The privacy section links straight to the full privacy policy and to a human you can ask.
  • Section headlines underline themselves with the highlighter stroke as you reach them, icons draw in like pen strokes, and the FAQ surfaces our favourite promise up front: if the answer is not in your paper, Alfred says so.

What stays the same

If your device is set to reduce motion, all of it - the constellation, the typing, the ink threads - steps aside and every section appears instantly and fully visible. The page stays light: the 3D scene only loads for visitors who want motion, after the page itself is ready.
