From fieldwork to a defensible manuscript
Sociology, political science, anthropology, and their neighbors share a methods spine — surveys, interviews, texts, and the statistics or frameworks to interpret them. Kahubi puts that spine in one workspace: collection, analysis, and writing that can survive a methods-focused review.
Free plan included. No credit card required.
Where Kahubi fits your work
Survey research end to end
Design the instrument, collect via a shared link, and analyze — from descriptives and crosstabs to correlation and regression — with sample-size logic documented at design time.
Fieldwork audio into analyzable text
Interviews and focus groups transcribed in 99+ languages with speaker labels on an EU endpoint — a hard requirement under many ethics approvals.
Quantitative claims with receipts
Chi-square on the crosstab, regression on the survey wave, reliability on the scale — run on your data and reported with effect sizes in your draft.
Theory and evidence, cross-examined
Ask your library how a concept has been operationalized, where findings conflict across contexts, or what the canonical critique was — with citations to the sources.
Synthesis with a documented trail
Search, screen, and write literature syntheses whose method sections can name their process — increasingly expected in social science journals.
Your argument, your voice
Drafts start from a style profile learned from your own writing, cite in APA, Chicago, Harvard or others, and compile to PDF or export to .docx.
Chat with your library, not a generic chatbot
Kahubi answers from the papers, drafts, datasets, and transcripts you actually have. Type @ to pull any source into the conversation; the agent reads it, searches your library, and cites what it used.
- @-mention papers, drafts, datasets, interviews, and files
- Select text in any PDF to explain, summarize, or translate it
- Agent searches OpenAlex and the web, and imports papers for you
Write accurate manuscripts, grounded in your sources
Draft in a clean editor and let the AI help — it writes in your voice, learned from your own publications, and every paragraph stays anchored to the papers, data, and notes you actually have, never invented. Read it as a formatted PDF, edit it like a Word document, or drop into LaTeX when you want fine control.
- Writes in your voice: a style profile learned from your published work, not a generic chatbot register
- Grounded in your library: the AI writes from your real papers and data, and cites what it used
- One click to a compiled PDF, plus Word (.docx) export and full version history
