Paper Digest is an AI-powered research platform established in 2018 and trusted by over 3 million users from thousands of universities, companies, and government agencies worldwide. Based in New York City, the platform enables researchers, engineers, professors, and graduate students to stay current with the latest academic developments, generate research content, and extract insights from scientific literature.

The platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools for literature review, deep research, academic reading, academic writing, question answering, and search. Its Literature Review generator covers papers, patents, clinical trials, grants, and experts, and is uniquely designed to avoid large language model hallucinations by not relying on LLMs for citation-backed outputs. Users can generate literature reviews in seconds around any research topic with citations provided for every sentence.

Paper Digest maintains a knowledge graph with hundreds of millions of documents, real-time crawlers tracking major academic sources such as arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, and medRxiv, plus thousands of conferences and journals. Daily Paper Digest delivers customized highlights of new research papers, sorted by potential impact, with support for over 200 research areas. Conference Paper Digest, Best Paper Digest, and Topic Tracking tools provide additional layers of discovery.

Subscription plans start at $6.66 per month when billed annually. A free tier is available with daily quotas for core services, and all paid services are included in a single subscription. The platform supports users from more than 200 countries and territories, and compute resources are partly provided by the AWS EdTech startup accelerator.
