📄 From Paper to Insight – EurekAI’s AI-Powered Research Workflow for Academic Researchers

We at EurekAI value your time. We understand how draining it is to bounce between platforms—PDFs, reference managers, research libraries, chatbots, forums—while trying to make steady progress in your research.

That fragmented workflow slows down real thinking.

Whether you're a PhD candidate, a grad student, or a professor, this journey is far from smooth. And that’s the exact reason we’re building EurekAI.

We promised ourselves—and to researchers like you—that we’ll create a platform that not only saves your time, but also supports your thinking with the right AI-powered insights only when you need them. Think of it as your quiet research partner. A sort of #DontBugMeUnlessINeedYou.

The insights we offer are sequenced—not dumped. They’re aligned with your interests, goals, and even your own search behavior. No more, no less—that's our design philosophy.

So, what do you get? Let’s explore the first journey we've crafted inside EurekAI:

🚀 Paper Discovery: The First Chapter in Your Research Flow

This journey begins with something as simple—and powerful—as adding a paper link.

We observed during development that uploading PDFs slows you down, while simply adding a paper URL keeps the momentum alive. So for this release, we're starting with support for arXiv.org, and soon we’ll extend this to other open-access platforms in upcoming versions.

You might pause here and wonder—why not build a full scholarly search engine?

We started down that road. But we chose to pivot. Our philosophy is Not-More-Not-Less—and throwing another search engine into your workflow didn’t align with that.

Instead, we wanted to go deeper, not wider. That’s only possible with open-access papers, where we can help you uncover granular insights—without information overload. But of course, 👂we’re listening—and if your needs change, we’ll adapt.

📑 Paper Details Page: Where the Insight Begins

Once you add a paper (or up to five with this release), we’ll guide you to the Paper Details screen—a focused view of your paper as a readable PDF, surrounded by all the tools and insights that make sense in your research flow.

And yes—every paper you add is 💾 automatically saved to your personal research library.

🧩 Key Features and Benefits

In the following list, we’ve outlined the essential features designed to support your research journey inside the Paper Details page. Each of these is built with intention—to help you go deeper, stay organized, and progress faster, without crowding your mind.

To explore everything EurekAI offers across your full research workflow, [follow along here →].

✅ 1. Auto-Save to Your Library

Every paper you add is stored—automatically. We know how easily research gets messy, so this gives you a clean trail of everything you’ve explored. You can search, revisit, and organize your papers at any time visiting your personal research library.

🤖 2. AI Summary (Chat with EurekAI Agent)

This is not just a summary box. You can actually chat with the paper using the LLM model that EurekAI adopted. It's not ChatGPT, and we haven’t integrated any popular LLMs yet, because we wanted full control over how insights are tailored to your paper alone.

Prompt the EurekAI Agent with your questions—whether it's “What is the core methodology?” or “Does it mention XYZ theory?”—and it will respond based solely on the content of your uploaded paper.

We do plan to support ChatGPT and other well-known models in future releases, giving you flexibility to choose your preferred AI assistant when the time is right.

✨ 3. Paper Highlights

While reading, you can highlight key lines or sections that matter to you. These highlights are saved, editable, and with forthcoming releases—searchable in your library.

Think of it like a living notebook that grows with your reading.

🏷️ 4. Tags

We know tagging boosts recall—especially when juggling multiple research threads. That’s why EurekAI auto-generates smart tags for every paper you add. You can also add your own custom tags, and in the near future, we’ll let you search your papers by tags as well.

📚 5. Similar Papers (A Personal Story)

This feature is deeply personal to us.

EurekAI is the brainchild of our CEO, Adityam Ghosh, whose research journey during his Master’s in Data Science hit a major roadblock—Decision Paralysis during literature review. Choosing the right set of similar papers to support a seed paper was overwhelming, and most tools just made it worse with surface-level results.

That’s why we prioritized this as one of our very first core features—because we know that a strong literature review begins with discovering the right papers.

Our AI model doesn’t just toss in keyword matches—it carefully finds relevant, meaningful similar papers in context with your selected seed paper. This helps you move forward with clarity, not confusion, and saves time where it matters most—your literature review.

📝 6. Paper Notes

Note-taking is essential for deep work. You can write, edit, and keep individual notes for each paper—whether it’s a quick insight, a future research idea, or a reference pointer. It's all part of your saved workflow.

💬 Paper Discussions

Here’s where it gets collaborative.

Every paper added to EurekAI is linked to a dedicated discussion community for academic researchers in our forum. If your paper has been talked about in our community, you’ll see a curated list of relevant conversations—ranked by quality, so you don’t waste time sifting through low-value replies.

And if not? You can be the first to start a meaningful discussion that might help others like you down the road.

🧭 Final Thought

EurekAI isn’t built for everyone. It’s built for the few academic researchers who are tired of noise, tired of clutter, and want to move from paper to insight—faster, deeper, and smarter.

We’re just getting started. And we’re building it with you.
