About Rixx
Rixx is an AI-native search tool for research. You pose a question in everyday language and get a straight answer with its sources, supporting snippets and the research steps visible, so the work can be inspected before it is reused. It handles current web research with visible citations, keeps context across follow-up questions and supports regional and multilingual research.
You can bring in your own PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, screenshots and images, or link supported apps, which lets you set public research against your own material. Findings can be converted into outputs such as interactive charts, reports, slide presentations, spreadsheets, data files and written sections, all within the same conversation. Private Skills store repeated instructions and output styles, documents live in a reusable library, and branching conversation history lets you pick up where you left off. The site also lists alternatives, use cases, a blog and free research tools.
