New here: PhD researcher building the tool I always wished existed

Hey everyone 👋

I'm a researcher and first time solo founder.

For years, every literature review meant juggling eight different tools and spending most of my time on logistics instead of actual thinking. I finally got fed up and built the thing I wished existed: IntelliResearch, where one search pulls papers, a cited literature review, datasets, code, patents, conferences, and grants into one place.

I designed, built, and shipped the whole thing myself, so honestly I'm here to learn from this community as much as anything: how you launched, what worked, what you'd do differently the second time.

Would love to connect with other solo founders and anyone building in AI or research tools. What are you all working on right now?
