Everything you need to know about Simplifine and how it can help your research
General
Simplifine is a research suite that helps you find, consume, and generate research more efficiently. It combines AI-powered search, paper analysis, note-taking, and collaboration tools in one seamless workspace.
Simplifine is designed for PhD and postdoc researchers and academics who work extensively with academic literature.
Unlike traditional reference managers or note-taking apps, Simplifine provides a complete research workspace that integrates all your research tools in one place. Our platform combines traditional research tools with modern AI capabilities, while maintaining a strong focus on data privacy and user control.
AI Features & Safety
Our AI assistant streamlines your research workflow by helping you search papers using natural language, extract and compare data across multiple papers, generate literature reviews, and identify research gaps. It analyzes methods, synthesizes findings, and provides instant insights about papers in your library.
We're fully transparent about AI usage. Features like paper search, reference management, PDF reading, note-taking, and spreadsheet editing are traditional tools that don't use LLMs. AI features are clearly labeled and include the AI research assistant, AI chat, AI deep research, and AI literature review generation. You can use Simplifine effectively without engaging with any AI features.
We implement several safeguards: 1) All AI responses are grounded in your specific research papers with clear citations, 2) We use retrieval-augmented generation to ensure accuracy, 3) The system clearly indicates when it's uncertain, and 4) Users can easily verify AI outputs against source materials. Our AI is instructed to only refer to real sources and not to generate fake research content.
When using AI features, only the specific papers or text you explicitly select are processed. After processing, the data is immediately deleted. You maintain full control over what data is analyzed.
