From Research to Reach

AI turns research into stories. Blockchain turns stories into verified science.

The Spark — A "Muscle Guy" Video

One day, 15-year-old Carlos came across a viral video of a "muscle guy" claiming that a supplement could make anyone stronger in a week. He shared it with his mom, Charlotte, a Harvard Nutrition Science candidate. Together, they searched through research papers and clinical studies, realizing how easily misinformation spreads across social media — especially when scientific evidence is hidden behind jargon or paywalls.

“This isn't right. We need a way to help young people think critically — and help real science be seen.”

Our Story — From Curiosity to Creation

Founded by Carlos, a high school student, and Charlotte, a Harvard Nutrition Science candidate, LegitEvi bridges the gap between scientific evidence and social media communication.

We built LegitEvi to:

  • Use AI to transform research papers (PDFs) into short, engaging video scripts — in influencer, documentary, or educational styles.

  • Provide a secure platform for scientists to store, organize, and manage their PDFs and videos.

  • Offer a blockchain-backed citation pool, enabling influencers to reference verified research and link directly to the original scientist's content.

  • Build a tokenized marketplace where scientists are rewarded based on verified citations and audience engagement.
