Recommends and summarizes research papers, chats with PDFs, and reads papers aloud, built by Cactus Communications.
R Discovery is an academic research platform from Cactus Communications, an India-based scholarly-communications company. It searches a claimed 250 million-plus papers and recommends new ones based on a researcher's reading history, then layers AI features on top: summarizing a paper, chatting with its PDF, generating a literature review draft from several papers, translating abstracts into other languages, and reading papers aloud as audio. It is used through a web app, iOS and Android apps, a Chrome extension, and a ChatGPT integration. A free tier covers search and basic recommendations; the paid Prime tier adds the heavier AI features.
R Discovery Prime is listed at $12/month for unlimited AI summaries, PDF chat, and literature review generation; a free tier covers basic search and recommendations.
Use tool ↗R Discovery is built around the daily habit of keeping up with a field: it recommends papers based on what you've already read, then lets you interrogate a PDF instead of skimming it cold. The free tier is usable on its own, but the features researchers actually want, literature review drafts and unlimited PDF chat, sit behind the $12/month Prime plan.
