AI research platform for paper search, Q&A and notes
Updated
OpenRead is an AI-powered research platform that helps users discover, analyze and manage academic papers. It combines paper search, question answering, cross-paper comparison and note-taking in one workspace.
You search the paper index, open a paper and ask questions about it, or select several papers to compare findings and contradictions. Oat, the chat interface, supports homework help, diagram drawing and image editing with top-tier models. Notes live alongside the papers so reading and writing stay in one place.
OpenRead is aimed at researchers and students who read many papers and want help summarizing and comparing them. It maintains a free tier and a Pro tier.
OpenRead offers Free and Pro tiers. Pro pricing was not available from the pages reviewed, so see the vendor pricing page for the current monthly or annual rate.
Alternatives include Humata for document Q&A, Litmaps for citation mapping and literature discovery, and Explainpaper for explaining highlighted text.
