Paperguide

Jacob Johnson, Udomchoke Asawimalkit, Ronald K, David Kocsis, Vugar Ibrahimov, and Dwein looked at the research world—students drowning in papers, academics spending weeks on literature reviews, and realized everyone was still doing this manually like it was the stone ages. So they built Paperguide, an all-in-one AI research assistant that finds papers, runs literature reviews, extracts data, manages references, and writes your actual academic documents. That's not a feature list—that's a cheat code for anyone with a thesis due.

Search, summarize, extract, cite, write. Paperguide does the entire research workflow in one place so you stop jumping between six different tools. It handles 100+ languages, pulls from every major academic database, and actually understands context—not just keyword matching. The literature review that used to take 40 hours now takes minutes. The citations that used to break your soul are automatic. The research that used to feel like torture actually feels like progress.

Everyone's building AI for code and content. These six decided to own the research stack instead, and honestly, that's where every graduate student, professor, and researcher on the planet lives. The boring work is what keeps people stuck, and Paperguide just unlocked them.
