About Paperguide
Paperguide combines literature search, a reference manager and AI tools in one web app. You ask a research question in plain language and AI Search returns an answer drawn from over 200 million papers, with each claim linked to its source. Papers can be imported from Zotero or Mendeley or added by DOI.
A Research Agent compares studies, Extract Data builds cited tables from many papers, and the Systematic Review feature supports protocol-driven reviews with PRISMA reporting.
