Research Helper is a small tool built around the way real research actually happens — with sources open in another tab, citations in the margins, and a notebook that doesn't lie about what you found.
Six tools designed for the way research actually happens — slow, careful, with sources open in another tab and a notebook that doesn't lie about what you found.
Add documents — PDFs, articles, transcripts — to a project. When you cite a source, Research Helper opens the actual page, not a synthetic quote of one. If a source doesn't exist, the field says "no data."
Ask a question in plain language. Research Helper searches your library, surfaces the relevant passages, and drafts an answer that cites the exact page and figure.
Sensitive claims require a second reviewer to physically re-open the source and confirm the citation. The system logs the click, the time, and the user — every verification is on the audit trail.
Charts refuse to render until enough real, verified data points exist. We never smooth, interpolate, or guess to make a slide deck look complete. If a data point is missing, the chart says so.
Every note is version-controlled and append-only. Edits create new entries; the original is preserved. Useful when an advisor asks "where did that number come from?"
Export the full project — sources, claims, citations, audit trail — in standard formats. Your research, your files, your right to leave any time.
The discipline of "cite, verify, write" becomes a default — not a chore you remember at 2am.
Drop in the documents — papers, PDFs, transcripts, raw notes. Research Helper parses them and builds a searchable index. No manual tagging required.
Type a question in plain language. The system drafts an answer from your sources, with each claim linked to the specific page and figure that supports it.
A reviewer re-opens the source. The claim enters the audit trail with its sources, its reviewer, and its verification timestamp. Ready to share or export.
Undergrad, grad, or independent — for anyone writing a thesis, paper, or project that needs to be true.
For professionals who need to make a claim and prove it — to a client, regulator, or internal stakeholder.
For long-form work where the citation matters as much as the prose. The right tool for a piece that has to stand up to fact-check.
No "premium" verification, no per-citation fees, no "AI credits" meter.
Free for verified students. Free to try for everyone else. No credit card, no demo required, no fake numbers — obviously.
