Paperguide is an AI Research Platform for Scientific Research Workflows. Built for research labs, principal investigators, and research teams, it brings the entire research lifecycle into one collaborative AI-native workspace, with a Full-fledged AI-native Reference Manager, PDF Intelligence, citation-grounded writing, and connected workflows for literature discovery, screening, extraction, and synthesis. Research teams use Paperguide to find, organize, screen, extract, and synthesize scientific literature for literature reviews, systematic reviews, evidence synthesis workflows, and other evidence-based research projects. Combining AI-powered literature discovery, an AI Literature Review (Agent), a Research Agent for end-to-end deep research, PDF Intelligence, a Citation-Grounded AI Paper Writer, and a Full-fledged AI-native Reference Manager, Paperguide unifies the entire research workflow in one connected platform, with every claim, extraction, and citation traceable to a real source paper. Key Features 1. Research Agent: Paperguide's most comprehensive workflow. Runs the full research process end-to-end in a single connected session, from discovery and screening to extraction, drafting, and citation handling, all on one paper library. Built for deep research questions that go beyond a single search, such as scoping a new research direction, building the evidence base for a grant proposal, or producing a citation-grounded first draft. 2. AI Search: Hybrid semantic and keyword search across 200M+ peer-reviewed papers from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar. Ask research questions in natural language and receive cited, evidence-backed answers synthesized from the top 20 most relevant papers, with quality signals (SJR, SNIP, citation metrics) on every result. 3. AI Literature Review (Agent): A dedicated, structured agent for conducting formal literature reviews through a five-step Plan, Search, Screen, Extract, Synthesize workflow. Produces a complete literature review with synthesized findings organized into themes and sections. Standard mode handles up to 50 papers; Extended mode screens up to 200. Every claim cited and linked to a source paper. 4. Deep Research Report: Follows the same structured pipeline as the AI Literature Review (Agent), with full researcher control and confirmation at every stage. Researchers set the questions, review retrieved papers, adjust inclusion and exclusion, and confirm extraction fields before the report is generated. Designed for complex, nuanced research where the researcher's judgment shapes the synthesis. 5. Full-fledged AI-native Reference Manager: Replaces standalone tools like Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. AI-native because every saved paper is immediately usable by every other workflow on the platform. 1,000+ citation styles, Zotero/BibTeX/RIS/DOI/PDF import, Chrome extension, automatic metadata and PDF fetching, built-in PDF viewer with highlights and annotations, shared libraries with permissions, version history. 6. Citation-Grounded AI Paper Writer: Drafts research papers, literature reviews, methodology sections, and grant-grade prose with references pulled from your library. Every citation links to a real paper, eliminating fabricated references at the architecture level. 1,000+ citation styles supported. Rewrite, refine, and improve any section with AI assistance grounded in the research context. 7. Structured Data Extraction: Pull structured information from multiple research papers into custom-column evidence tables. Define columns (sample size, intervention, outcome, methodology, effect size, study design) and Paperguide extracts those values across every paper, with each cell linked back to its source passage. Export to CSV or Excel for downstream analysis. 8. PDF Intelligence (Chat with PDF): Query any uploaded paper conversationally. Ask methodology questions, request summaries, compare findings across multi-paper folders, with every answer pointing to the exact page and paragraph it came from. 9. Evidence Synthesis Workflows and Systematic Reviews: Run protocol-driven evidence syntheses and systematic-review-style projects on Paperguide, with structured screening, Structured Data Extraction into evidence tables, cross-paper comparison, and citation-grounded synthesis writing. Built for research teams running rigorous, publication-grade reviews. Why Paperguide? -Verified citations on every claim: Every answer, extraction, and draft links directly to its source paper. The hallucinated-citation problem common to generic AI writing tools is eliminated at the architecture level. -200M+ peer-reviewed sources: PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex, covering a broad range of scientific disciplines and publication types. -Paper quality evaluation: Every paper is evaluated using SJR, SNIP, and citation metrics, so the literature you work with meets a consistent standard of research credibility. -Synthesized, not just summarized: Paperguide connects findings across sources, identifies patterns, and produces structured outputs ready to use in research workflows. -Built for research teams: Collaboration, customizable permissions, shared libraries, and human review points are built into every workflow. Who Paperguide Is For? Paperguide is built for serious, multi-week and multi-month research projects. -Research labs and research groups -Principal investigators and research faculty -PhD researchers and postdoctoral researchers running structured reviews -Systematic review teams and evidence synthesis groups -Research analysts and policy researchers building evidence bases -Scientific research professionals in industry R&D and clinical research Visit: https://paperguide.ai/
