Here's the Million-Dollar Problem

Conflicting Answers

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini the same question. Get 3 different answers—all confident.

Hidden Biases

Every model has training biases and knowledge gaps. Single responses hide these blind spots.

Costly Mistakes

Business decisions based on unverified AI advice? That's a recipe for expensive errors.

KEA Research solves this by making AI models fact-check each other

The Science Behind It

4 Steps to AI Consensus

Think peer-reviewed research, but automated and instant. Here's how we turn competing AI opinions into rock-solid insights.

1

Initial

5 AI models answer independently. No collaboration yet—just pure, unfiltered perspectives from each AI's unique training.

2

Refine

Now they see each other's work (anonymized). Each AI improves its answer by learning from peer insights.

3

Evaluate

The AIs become judges. They rank each other's answers on accuracy, completeness, and logical consistency.

4

Synthesize

The top-ranked AI crafts your final answer—verified by peers, fact-checked, and consensus-backed. This is what you see.

Average processing time: 15-30 seconds
Worth the wait for verified accuracy vs. instant guesswork
Enterprise Features, Open Source Price

Built for Teams Who Can't Afford Wrong Answers

Whether you're making million-dollar decisions or building critical systems, these features have your back.

Fact Verification
Critical

What's Coming Next

Making KEA Research even more powerful

Qdrant Integration

Vector database for semantic search and long-term research memory. Remember everything you've ever researched.

Q1 2026
Live Internet Search

Real-time web search with multi-AI verification. Get current information, not outdated training data.

Q1 2026
Lightning Fast Setup

3 Steps. 60 Seconds. Done.

No complicated configs. No dependency hell. Just one command and you're running.

Step 1: Run Install Command

Copy, paste, hit enter. That's it.

curl -fsSL research.kea.sh | sh
irm research.kea.sh | iex
Prerequisites
Step 1: Get Latest Version Tag
LATEST_TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/KeaBase/kea-research/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"' | cut -d'"' -f4)
Step 2: Clone and Checkout
git clone https://github.com/keabase/kea-research.git && \
cd kea-research && \
git checkout $LATEST_TAG
Step 3: Configure Environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your preferred text editor
nano .env # or vim .env, or code .env
Step 4: Launch
docker compose up -d
Pro Tips
  • Specific version: Replace $LATEST_TAG with a specific version like v0.1.1
  • Find versions: Check GitHub releases page
  • Update to latest: From kea-research folder run: git fetch --tags && LATEST_TAG=$(git ls-remote --tags origin | grep -o "v[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$" | sort -V | tail -n 1) && git checkout $LATEST_TAG && docker compose up -d --build
Prerequisites
  • Docker Desktop for Windows - Download Docker Desktop
  • PowerShell 5.1+ - Included in Windows 10+, or use PowerShell Core 7+
Step 1: Get Latest Version Tag
$LATEST_TAG = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.github.com/repos/KeaBase/kea-research/releases/latest").tag_name
Step 2: Download and Extract
$zipUrl = "https://github.com/KeaBase/kea-research/archive/refs/tags/$LATEST_TAG.zip"; `
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $zipUrl -OutFile "kea-research.zip"; `
Expand-Archive -Path "kea-research.zip" -DestinationPath "."; `
$folderName = "kea-research-$($LATEST_TAG -replace '^v','')"; `
cd $folderName
Step 3: Configure Environment
Copy-Item .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your preferred text editor
notepad .env # or code .env
Step 4: Launch
docker compose up -d
Important Notes
  • Why ZIP instead of Git: Windows git can have line-ending issues (CRLF vs LF) that break shell scripts in Docker. ZIP download ensures correct Unix-style line endings.
  • PowerShell version: Use PowerShell 5.1+ (included in Windows 10+). PowerShell Core (7+) also works.
  • Docker Desktop: Make sure Docker Desktop is running before executing docker commands.
Pro Tips
  • Specific version: Set $LATEST_TAG = "v0.1.1" for a specific version
  • Find versions: Check GitHub releases page
  • Cleanup: Delete the ZIP file after extraction: Remove-Item kea-research.zip
Step 2: Add API Keys
Quick config file setup

During installation, you'll be prompted for API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, xAI, Ollama). Press Enter to skip—add them later in the Admin Panel.

Step 3: Launch
You're ready to go!
