👋 Hey PH Family!! I'm Roop, one of the makers of Paperguide We're excited to introduce Paperguide, an AI-powered research platform to help users discover, read, manage, and write with ease. Whether you're a student, researcher, or academic professional, Paperguide boosts your productivity and accelerates your research. Paperguide helps: - Discover relevant papers 🔍 - Read research papers faster using chat and summaries 📖💨 - Conduct comprehensive literature reviews 📊 - Manage and organize references 📁 - Annotate and take research notes ✍️ - Enhance academic writing ✨ At Paperguide, our mission is to accelerate research so that solutions to the world's intricate problems, including climate change and diseases, can be found faster. Paperguide (originally known as ChatWithPDF) was launched as a simple tool to comprehend large PDFs. Since its launch last year, more than 500,000 users have used our tool. Through user feedback, we discovered that students and researchers form the majority of our user base. Rather than remaining a generic tool, we recognized an opportunity to make a more significant impact by tailoring our focus to the needs of researchers and students. If you are a researcher or involved in research-related work, please give https://paperguide.ai a try. 🚀 We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. How can Paperguide assist with your research process? 💡 Thank you for all your support! 🙏 Roop and The Paperguide Team

This looks really fantastic, congrats on the launch! Hard question incoming: how do you ensure that there are no "hallucinations" from the bot when asking things? This seems super important for things like research!
Roop Reddy
Maker
@adamschroder Great Question! We try to minimise the hallucinations as less as possible in couple of ways. 1) Citations: We try to be very very specific about the facts mentioned by AI, to the page numbers and document names. 2) Prompt: We have refined our prompt multiple times to keep the hallucinations to minimum. To be honest, its still a work in progress and also the limitations of current LLMs. We are committed to improve accuracy by collecting feedback from users as much as possible.

Just saved Paperguide to give it a try! I’ve been using a mix of different tools for similar tasks, but after watching the video, I think Paperguide might improve my process. Thanks for the product and good luck with the launch! 🔥✨

@georgestrunin Thanks George! One of the point point that we want to solve is that today we have lot of fragmented research tools that does not talk to each other. For ex: we have Zotero and ChatGPT, Google Docs etc etc. Eagarly waiting for your feedback.

Man I've been searching for at tool that allows me to tap into research papers out there. Love how slick the interface and how you can test out the tool - without signing up for an account! Awesome, it's pretty cool all the paper referenced are pretty recent. It would be awesome if the LLM can take the question and give you suggestions on similar questions like Perplexity. Congrats on the launch @roopreddy and team!

@tonyhanded Thanks Tony for your support. Really appreciate it. Good idea to show the similar questions. It also drives engagement. This is something we will look forward to incorporate in future releases.

Hey Roop, Paperguide looks fantastic! As someone who's spent countless hours drowning in research papers, I wish I had this AI-powered lifesaver back in my academic days. I love how you've evolved from ChatWithPDF to address the specific needs of researchers and students. The comprehensive feature set covering discovery, reading, managing, and writing is impressive. It's like having a super-smart research assistant that doesn't need coffee breaks! One suggestion - have you considered adding a collaboration feature? Something that allows researchers to share annotations or discuss papers in real-time could be game-changing. It might help Paperguide stand out even more in the market. Also, I couldn't help but chuckle at the "Read research papers faster" feature. Finally, a way to get through those 50-page methodology sections without falling asleep on my keyboard! Overall, Paperguide seems like a solid contender in the research tools space. Keep up the great work, and may your users' bibliographies always be perfectly formatted!

Hi, I like your overall product. a few minor feedbacks 1. the home page feels cluttered. There's so much going on I don't know where to focus. 2. I love the input in the hero section, easy to interact with your site that way 3. I researched something and the result was good, but the display was not so good. 4. it needs to be spaced out better, it doesn't flow well. you also have this. References: Abstract 1 Abstract 2 Abstract 3 followed by another References section. Great product, don't let minor issues like these push people away
Roop Reddy
Maker
@userinsite Really appreciate your feedback. 1)I agree with you!! We will try to simplfy a bit in the next version. 2) Thanks a lot 3) Can you pls eloborate a bit on this? Is the chat UI needs to be improved? 4) Do you mean in the references section?
Negou Seid
@roopreddy Yes the chat UI needs to be improved. the text needs spacing. for me, I had a response with five paragraphs with no space in between and the links were blue, it was hard to read it. The reference section was just weird to see reference twice. One reference section looked great and the other looks like the text I provided

@userinsite Noted. We’ll be fixing that in the next version. Thank you for your feedback!

Congratulations on the Launch. Paperguide can help save a lot of time for researchers. But I have a question on privacy. How do you handle privacy and data security? @roopreddy

@kiranmaruthi Great Question Kiran. We take data privacy very seriously. Infact all our data is hosted on Azure..Even though we use GPT4 models, we dont send data to Open as data resides with in Azure!!
