Paperguide

Paperguide is an AI-native research assistant that helps academics, students, and professionals find, organize, and synthesize scientific literature. It searches more than 200 million peer-reviewed papers, answering full research questions rather than simple keyword matches, and returns citation-backed responses drawn from the underlying papers. Beyond search, the platform offers a Research Agent that compares studies and drafts literature reviews across multiple papers, a Chat with PDF feature for asking questions about an uploaded document, and an Extract Data tool that pulls study details such as numerical results and tables into structured, citation-traceable formats. A Systematic Review module supports PRISMA-compliant reviews with dual-reviewer screening and conflict resolution, and an AI Writer drafts research content grounded in the citations a user has collected. Reference management supports import and export with Zotero and Mendeley and more than 1,000 citation styles. Paperguide reports over 974,000 researchers using the platform, with users from institutions including MIT, Oxford, UC Berkeley, and Duke, as well as pharmaceutical and life-sciences companies. It runs as a web application with a Chrome extension. Pricing is freemium, with paid plans required for higher usage limits and team seats. Security certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are listed as upcoming rather than already obtained.
