Unriddle (YC S24)

Unriddle uses language models to help researchers quickly and deeply understand papers, write literature reviews, prepare citations, and keep the entire research team on the same page. Analyzing key themes and gaps in a field usually means going through hundreds of research papers, which is both time-consuming and disorganized. Researchers also might struggle to understand a paper's importance when working across different disciplines without the necessary context. Unriddle understands the context behind your research. It synthesizes relevant findings, highlights connections between papers, and suggests related studies you might have missed.
