What is PaperDoc?

PaperDoc is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered research platform designed for academic research. By combining the essential characteristics of an academic search engine with the power of LLMs, PaperDoc offers an enriching experience for your research and scientific monitoring work while saving you time. You can use PaperDoc to do keyword searches or ask questions conversationally. The engine will first find the most relevant articles, then employ its LLM models designed specifically to summarize the main ideas contained in multiple research articles. The sources used by PaperDoc come from the Semantic Scholar database, which brings together nearly 220 million scientific articles covering all areas of research. This database is updated weekly, allowing you to always be up to date. We also add other reliable data sources in addition to the scientific literature.

Our services

Archie

Archie is your AI-powered research assistant. You can search by keywords or conversationally, and you will get the following types of answers:

Insights:

  • An answer to your question, citing the sources of the articles used to generate it. Our AI offers you two other questions related to your initial query.
  • An answer that sources articles answering “Yes”, “No”, “Potentially” to your query. If your query is not a Yes/No question, our AI will automatically generate one related to your search.

In summary: A response in the form of an explanatory sheet, structured and sourced, linked to your request.

Using Archie is the same as using ChatGPT?

Concretely at ChatGPT, all our answers are sourced from scientific literature. PaperDoc draws its information from validated scientific literature. The AI ​​is connected to the Semantic Scholar database containing nearly 220 million published scientific articles. Our answers are therefore sourced. We have also developed our own AI models to optimize the quality of responses as much as possible.

Can Archie hallucinate?

Unlike ChatGPT which can produce hallucinations (aka invented answers), at PaperDoc we have developed and deployed layers of AI which force it not to respond if it cannot find the answer. You will get N/A as an answer if there are insufficient or no sources to answer your query.

How are Archie’s results constructed and their relevance?

The relevance of the results is the result of collaborative work between caregivers, researchers and data scientists. We review the results carefully and compare them to the original article. Our first quality criterion is the absence of erroneous information that could be generated by AI (“hallucination”). We have also developed a metric to measure the quality of the answers offered and the sources used to generate them.

Do I have to use Archie to search?

You can do a “classic” search. Simply uncheck the “At a Glance” and “In Summary” buttons. You can also choose to do an AI-powered search or not. You can also do a non-AI-powered search by unchecking the “AI-powered search” button.

Is Archie limited to the English language?

You can use Archie in any language you want. You will get a response in the same language as your query.

How does Archie differ from a “classic” search engine?

Classic search engines offer keyword searching. With our cutting-edge LLMs models, Archie is designed to accept more flexible queries than traditional search engines, making searching smoother. Additionally, traditional search engines provide you with a list of links to articles related to your search, forcing you to open many tabs. Archie pulls relevant information directly from articles related to your question and gives you an overview of what searches are saying about your query across numerous articles.

How does Archie differ from ChatGPT or other AI-powered search engines?

Most recent AI tools, such as ChatGPT, are entirely generative, producing text in response to a request without necessarily relying on actual scientific articles, which can lead to inaccurate references or even hallucinations. Unlike these tools, Archie begins by performing an exhaustive search of the scientific literature to find relevant articles based on your query. After identifying articles, our AI models analyze each document to extract key information and provide a sourced summary.

What are the academic features of Archie?

  • Search filters:  Filter by publication date, study methodology, open access articles, number of words desired in Archie's response.
  • TLDR (“Too Long, Didn’t Read”):This is a very brief summary of an article. It is intended to provide the main points or essential information quickly, allowing you to understand the essentials without having to read all the content. This is especially useful for people who want a quick overview or don't have time to read the entire document.
  • Copy reference:PaperDoc automatically creates the official references of articles to be directly integrated into your bibliography.
  • Full article:Go to the full article page

PaperDoc.AI

PaperDoc.AI allows you to summarize scientific articles. Our AI, powered by GPT-4o, identifies the most relevant information in an article and condenses it into a summary that you can easily and quickly read and listen to, in English and French.

PaperDoc.AI

Using PaperDoc.AI is equivalent to using ChatGPT?

PaperDoc's AI is partly powered by GPT-4o (OpenAI®). However, we have developed AI layers specific to the scientific article summary task. The summaries offered are therefore “tailor-made” depending on the type of study.

Can PaperDoc.AI hallucinate?

Unlike ChatGPT which can produce hallucinations (aka made-up answers), PaperDoc.AI contains additional layers of AI instructing it not to respond if it can't find the answer.

Is PaperDoc.AI limited to English?

Once your article has been summarized, you can translate the summary obtained into French.

Are there multiple abstract formats?

You can choose from two summary formats:

  • Bullet point summary: The important points of the article are listed.
  • Narrative Summary: The important points of the article are listed and written in a more narrative form of the summary.

How are the results of our AI determined and their relevance?

The relevance of the results is the result of collaborative work between caregivers, researchers and data scientists. We review the results carefully and compare them to the original article. Our first quality criterion is the absence of erroneous information that could be generated by AI (“hallucination”). We have also developed a metric to measure the quality of the answers offered and the sources used to generate them.

What documents can I summarize using PaperDoc.AI?

To date, we do not summarize any documents other than scientific publications with doi, pmid, and published in official journals. Summary generation time varies from 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the length of the document.
