ResearchGPT

Students and researchers with a stack of papers to get through can use ResearchGPT to ask questions instead of reading every page.

ResearchGPT is an open source AI research tool built as a FastAPI application that lets you chat with research papers.

You upload a PDF or paste a link to one online, and the app extracts the text, generates embeddings, and sends your question to the OpenAI API to produce an answer based on the paper's content.

The useful detail is that ResearchGPT shows the source text and page number behind each response.

That makes it easy to check an answer against the original passage rather than trusting the model blindly.

Since it runs on the OpenAI API and lives on GitHub as a FastAPI project, expect to set it up yourself and supply your own API access.

It makes sense for people comfortable running a small Python app.
