AI for Researchers & Academics

Your unpublished data stays unpublished.

Hush helps you draft, summarise and interrogate documents, on AI hardware we own. We keep no conversations or documents on our servers, we process what you send, then wipe it. Interview transcripts, unpublished datasets, participant information and pre-print drafts are never stored, never sent to a US cloud and never used to train a model.

A Microsoft lawyer told the French Senate, under oath, he could not guarantee your data would never be handed to US authorities. We run on hardware we own, with no US parent, so that question does not arise here. Read what was said.

Consumer AI and confidential research are a poor fit.

Funders, ethics committees and data-management plans increasingly ask a specific question: where will the data go, and who can access it? Pasting participant interviews or unpublished results into a free chatbot answers that question badly, the content may be retained, may train a future model, and with any US-owned tool sits within reach of US legal process under the CLOUD Act regardless of server location. For data held under participant consent or a data-sharing agreement, that is a governance gap, not a convenience.

From literature to write-up, privately.

A drafting and analysis assistant under your review, not a co-author, and not a substitute for your own scholarship.

Summarise & interrogate documents

Upload PDFs, papers, transcripts, reports, and question them privately. Pull themes from a corpus without uploading it to anyone else's cloud.

Draft & redraft prose

Turn rough notes into readable paragraphs; tighten a methods section; produce a plain-English summary of a technical result for a grant lay summary.

Qualitative first-pass coding

Suggest a draft coding frame across interview data for you to verify, refine and own, a starting point, never the analysis itself.

Grant & ethics paperwork

Draft sections of applications, lay summaries, data-management plans and participant information sheets, for you to check against the actual protocol.

Data analyst tools

Explore structured data and generate charts inside the platform, on hardware we own, without exporting your dataset.

Audit trail you own

One-click export of usage, useful evidence for a data-management plan that says AI use was governed and logged.

Hush AI is a drafting and summarisation assistant. AI outputs may contain errors and fabricated citations; you remain responsible for the accuracy, integrity and authorship of your work. Always verify outputs against primary sources before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions

Can researchers use AI with unpublished or participant data?

Yes, if the tool keeps the data governed. Hush AI summarises and drafts on hardware we own, so unpublished results, interview transcripts and participant information never reach a US cloud and never train a model, and you get an audit export for your data-management plan.

Does Hush AI train its models on my research data?

No. Your content is never used for training and is stored encrypted locally on your own device until you delete it. Hush is a drafting and analysis assistant; you remain the author and are responsible for checking outputs against primary sources.

Do you have research case studies or reference groups?

We will be straight with you: we are an early-stage company, and you would be among our first research groups. So rather than showing you another group's numbers, the free pilot generates your evidence, a written report built from your own audit-log export that is yours to keep whether or not you continue. The company itself is verifiable today at Companies House (17278687) and the ICO (ZC126901).
