Chirpz

Product Introduction

1. Chirpz is an AI-powered research assistant that automatically discovers, analyzes, and ranks academic papers relevant to a user’s writing context. It integrates directly into the user’s workspace, enabling real-time citation discovery and metadata extraction from research databases.
2. The core value of Chirpz lies in its ability to streamline academic research by eliminating manual paper searches, ensuring contextually relevant results, and providing formatted citations within the user’s writing environment.

Main Features

1. Citation Discovery Agent: Users activate the AI by typing /cite in the editor, triggering an instant search across databases like arXiv, IEEE, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The agent analyzes the text context to prioritize papers based on semantic relevance and citation impact.
2. Deep Researcher Agent: A chat interface allows users to query the AI for comprehensive research, including technical explanations, source synthesis, and draft generation. The agent retrieves data from both academic and non-academic sources while maintaining scholarly formatting standards.
3. Unified Workspace: Combines a Notion-like editor with AI tools for writing, note storage, and citation management. Features include unlimited notebook length (Pro plan), multi-format exports (LaTeX, Word, PDF), and metadata-rich paper organization.

Problems Solved

1. Manual Citation Overload: Researchers spend hours searching databases and verifying citations; Chirpz automates this by delivering ranked, context-aware results in seconds.
2. Target Users: Academic researchers, graduate students, and institutional teams requiring rapid literature reviews or draft preparation for papers, grants, or theses.
3. Use Cases: Drafting a paper’s literature review section, verifying technical claims in real time, or compiling sources for systematic reviews without switching between multiple tools.

Unique Advantages

1. Seamless Integration: Unlike standalone reference managers (e.g., Zotero), Chirpz operates within the user’s writing interface, enabling citation insertion and metadata retrieval without disrupting workflow.
2. Contextual Ranking Engine: The AI evaluates papers based on textual context, citation count, and publication recency, surpassing keyword-based tools like Google Scholar.
3. Multi-Agent Architecture: Combines citation discovery and deep research agents in one platform, offering both precision (via /cite) and breadth (via chat queries) unmatched by competitors like ResearchRabbit or Semantic Scholar.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Chirpz ensure citation relevance? The AI parses the user’s text to identify key concepts, then cross-references them against paper abstracts, keywords, and citation networks to rank results by contextual alignment.
2. Which databases does Chirpz search? It indexes over 10,000 journals and preprints from arXiv, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and institutional repositories, updated daily.
3. What are the differences between Starter and Pro plans? Starter offers 200 monthly credits (1 credit = 1 AI query), 500-word notebooks, and basic models; Pro provides unlimited credits, advanced AI, and priority support for $9/month (annual billing).
4. Can Chirpz format citations in specific styles? Yes, it auto-generates citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, or IEEE formats, with metadata including DOI, publication date, and author affiliations.
5. Is there a free trial? The Starter plan is permanently free with limited features; no credit card is required for initial access.
