Corollary vs Google AI co-scientist and Gemini for Science

Google's AI co-scientist generates hypotheses and research proposals, and is open by interest form or enterprise preview. Corollary is open to anyone, free for non-commercial research, and does the analysis itself on its own machines.

The short answer

Gemini for Science, announced at Google I/O in May 2026, groups Google's science tools. Co-Scientist, a multi-agent Gemini system, generates and debates hypotheses and drafts research proposals; for individuals it is still at the 'express interest' stage, and for organisations it is a restricted preview in Gemini Enterprise. Science Skills, an open-source bundle of database and tool skills, runs in Google's Antigravity agent on your own computer.

Corollary sits further down the line, where a hypothesis meets data. Its agent runs bioinformatics programs, nf-core pipelines and 145 open scientific models for you, with no hardware of your own, and anyone can use it today. It is a non-commercial research demonstration.

Choose Co-Scientist for hypothesis generation from Google, once you have access. Choose Corollary when you need the analysis done now.

CorollaryGoogle AI co-scientist

What it is: CorollaryA research agent with a Linux machine of its own, and a library of open scientific models, programs, databases and pipelines it runs for you.; Google AI co-scientistGoogle's science tools: Co-Scientist, a multi-agent Gemini system that generates hypotheses and research proposals, alongside Computational Discovery and Literature Insights.^[1]^[4]
How you use it: CorollaryIn the browser, with a free account or signed out. Nothing to install. Also a developer API and an MCP server.; Google AI co-scientistFor individual researchers, Hypothesis Generation is at 'express interest' on Google Labs.

Databases: Corollary53 public databases queried live, with no API key of your own.; Google AI co-scientistMore than 30 life-science databases and tools through Science Skills; Co-Scientist uses web search, ChEMBL and UniProt.^[1]^[2]
Language model: CorollaryChosen and paid for by Corollary. No API key of your own.; Google AI co-scientistGemini.^[2]^[5]
Open source: CorollaryNo. The service is closed source; the models, programs and pipelines it runs are open.; Google AI co-scientistCo-Scientist: no. Science Skills: yes, Apache-2.0.^[7]
Your files: CorollaryUploaded to our servers and kept in the conversation's workspace. Some of our processors are in the United States.; Google AI co-scientistEnterprise: under Google Cloud's data processing terms. Antigravity's individual plan: interactions may be used to improve Google's products and reviewed by people, unless you opt out.^[4]^[9]

Google AI co-scientist's column is from its own public pages, read on 24 October 2026; the numbers link to them below. Corollary's figures are counted from the platform itself and each one links to the page that lists them.

Where Google AI co-scientist is the better choice

Hypotheses tested in the lab: drug-repurposing candidates for AML were confirmed in vitro, in a paper in Nature.^[10]
Google's model and tool family in one place: Gemini, AlphaEvolve and its notebook tools.^[1]
Enterprise use under Google Cloud terms, including commercial use of the preview.^[4]
Open-source Science Skills you can run in your own agent, free.^[7]^[6]
Scientists can apply for Antigravity's top usage tier free, with 10,000 places.^[5]

Where Corollary is the better choice

Available today, to anyone, without an interest form or an account team.
It does the computation, not only the hypotheses: 43 programs, 143 nf-core pipelines and 145 models run for you.
Free: 30,000 credits a month.

Try the same work on Corollary

Ask in plain language. The agent works on a Linux machine of its own: it installs and runs what the job needs, keeps every file, and reads the results back with the numbers explained.

Questions

Is Corollary a free alternative to Google AI co-scientist?

Corollary is free: 30,000 credits a month with an account, and database queries never use credits. It is a non-commercial research demonstration, so it is not an alternative for commercial work — for that, Google AI co-scientist or one of the other options below may be the right choice.

Can I use Google's AI co-scientist?

Not generally yet. For individual researchers it is at the 'express interest' stage on Google Labs; for organisations it is a restricted preview in Gemini Enterprise, arranged through a Google account team.

What is the difference between Co-Scientist and Corollary?

Co-Scientist is built to generate and rank hypotheses and draft research proposals. Corollary is built to do the analysis: it runs programs, pipelines and models on data, on machines of its own, and reports what came back.
