Description

Odysseus AI is a private AI research workspace built for teams and individuals who need controlled, source-traceable AI workflows. Unlike general-purpose chat tools, Odysseus lets you collect URLs, PDFs, Markdown files, and notes into a structured workspace, then generate cited research briefs with a full source table — so every claim is traceable back to your original material.

The current Preview supports deep research workflows including academic and technical literature reviews, competitor and product benchmarking, market and competitive intelligence, and due diligence for vendor or investment research. Model routing runs through OpenRouter with optional Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) support.

Odysseus is private by design: each user gets an isolated managed-cloud workspace, no behavioral telemetry is collected by default, and Odysseus never trains its models on your files or reports. Roadmap features include multi-seat team workspaces, AI email and calendar operations, agent workflows with MCP tool access, and durable cross-workflow memory.
