Discover what Papers GPT is, a customizable AI tool that connects your own data sources to answer specific research questions.

Papers GPT is a specialized AI tool built for researchers, data analysts, and developers. It lets you bring different data sources directly into your AI model, creating custom AI that can answer specific questions using your own knowledge bases — scientific papers, industry data, or custom datasets.
Key capabilities include connecting data sources, customization via an API, and a workflow that’s straightforward if you have some background in data science or AI. Papers GPT aims to improve answer accuracy, support data-driven decisions, and automate queries. It works best on desktop; there is no full mobile version yet. It uses a freemium model — you can start for free, with subscription plans for individual researchers and businesses.
Jesse Zhang created Papers GPT. He has a background in engineering, particularly web development and AI/ML, along with math. Jesse studied Computer Science at Harvard and gained experience through internships at Citadel, Google, HRT, Intel, Kensho, and EDO. After graduating, he founded his own company, Lowkey, which Niantic acquired in late 2021.
Papers GPT is aimed at researchers, data analysts, developers, scientists, academic professionals, business analysts, engineers, statisticians, data scientists, and consultants.
It’s designed to be user-friendly for anyone with some experience in data science or AI, and the freemium model lets you try it before committing to a subscription plan.
