Apodex

Apodex is AI for discovery: it tackles the questions that have no existing answer to look up, does the deep research to find one, and checks every step so the result can be trusted. The engineering shows in the workflow: step-level reasoning traces, citations in every report, the ability to branch off any report into a new line of inquiry, full-text search across your research threads, and an API for programmatic use. Inquiries are saved when you sign in, so research accumulates instead of evaporating.

The verify-every-step framing addresses the real blocker to using AI research output professionally — not "can it produce a plausible report" but "can I defend this to someone who will check."

Who it's for: analysts and strategists working on novel questions (new markets, unexplored technical paths), founders validating whitespace, and researchers who need the branch-and-explore workflow more than a single answer. The test is the reasoning trace: pick a question where you already know the answer, run it, and audit whether the verification steps are real checks or decorative bullet points.
