Chirpz finds, reads, and ranks academic papers for you — instantly. It searches across research databases and brings back the best matches with citations and metadata, right where you write.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Sina, founder of Chirpz AI — a tool I built as a researcher who got tired of spending hours digging for the right papers. You know the drill: you have an idea, open Google Scholar or ArXiv, type a dozen variations of your query, and end up buried under irrelevant results.
That’s the gap Chirpz closes — it’s the AI that bridges your thoughts to the unknown citations that fit best. Instead of you hopping across tabs, Chirpz brings the discovery to you. It understands your writing and finds the perfect paper, all inside a single, focused, and magical environment.
What it does:
✍️ Write or import into the Chirpz notebook—a minimal editor built for focused work.
🪄 Type /Cite — your magic button for instant discovery. It reads your context and scours research databases.
👀 Get a ranked list of most relevant papers with relevance scores, ready to review at a glance.
🔗 Insert your citation: auto-insert the best match or choose manually—all without leaving your editor.
Who it’s for:
🎓 PhD students & researchers writing “Related Work” or exploring new topics.
📝 Grad students racing to find foundational papers for projects.
🧑💻 R&D teams, engineers, and data scientists exploring the academic roots of new tech.
🧠 Curious minds who simply want to know where ideas come from.
🚀 Try it out here: https://chirpz.ai
I’ll be here all day to answer questions and hear your feedback — what topics are you exploring, and what would make Chirpz even better?
Thanks for checking us out 🙏

@sina_tayebati that's total relief. congrats on the launch, keep it up at Chirpz!
Chirpz
@mohsinproduct Thanks for the support Mohsin. would love to hear feedback 🚀

@sina_tayebati Chirpz looks super promising I love the idea of writing directly in your notes and instantly finding relevant research papers without leaving the page. That “/cite” feature feels like a real time-saver for anyone doing research or writing technical content.
Chirpz
@chrishicken Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
That’s exactly what we aimed for — making it effortless to discover and cite papers right where you write. The “/cite” feature was built to help researchers not only find papers effortlessly but also uncover citations you never knew existed. Really glad it resonates with you! 🚀

Smart use case for AI. Citation hunting is one of those tedious tasks that eats hours.
How does it handle more obscure sources? Like if someone's researching niche B2B topics or older industry publications that might not be well-indexed?
Chirpz
@ansh_deb Great question — and totally agree, citation hunting is one of those time sinks that AI can really transform. ⚡️
For niche or less-indexed topics, Chirpz pairs perfectly with our Deep Research Agent — a complementary tool that can deep search any topic (including B2B or industry-specific areas) and generate detailed research reports. It also comes with a chat interface so you can interact directly with your agent to refine and expand findings.
We’re also exploring the option to define custom search windows — for example, limiting results to older papers or specific publication years — which we’ll roll out if our user community finds it valuable. 🚀
Very useful, great idea. What scholarly sources does it use for its search?
Chirpz
@ron_creates Thanks a lot! Chirpz currently searches across Arxiv for computer science focused topics, and Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex for broader research domains — with more database integrations coming soon. 🚀

Congrats Sina! Chirpz hits a real pain point. Context-aware /Cite inside a focused notebook to surface ranked papers and insert citations without tab hopping sounds dreamy for Related Work sprints. How broad are the sources at launch, and can we add our own libraries?
Chirpz
Thanks a ton @alexcloudstar ! You nailed it — that’s exactly the pain point Chirpz was built to solve.
At launch, Chirpz pulls mainly from Arxiv (especially for AI and computer science topics) and Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex for broader domains. The AI also intelligently routes to the most relevant database based on your research context and what you're writing — so you always get the best possible set of papers without any setup.
We’re also working on integrating other domain-specific databases like PubMed and similar sources. And yes — adding personal or institutional libraries is definitely on our radar for an upcoming update. 🚀
This looks super useful, especially for people tired of juggling between ArXiv, Google Scholar, and endless PDFs. How does Chirpz decide which databases to search from like is it limited to open-access sources or does it integrate with paid journals too?
Chirpz
@lak7 Thanks, Lakshay! Glad to hear Chirpz resonated with you.
Under the hood, Chirpz first reviews your paragraph and overall writing context, then intelligently decides which database to query. Generally talking, for topics in computer science, math, physics, or AI, it primarily uses ArXiv, since it’s the most up-to-date and widely used source in those areas. For other topics, it taps into broader open databases.
Currently, Chirpz doesn’t provide full access to paid or licensed sources, but it does collect all relevant metadata so you can still reference those papers.
Hi Sina, this looks super useful! Quick question: does it or will it have the ability to read paid journals through a university ID? Although I assume doing this may involve obtaining some approvals etc. Either way, really useful tool.
Chirpz
@jollytango Thanks for the great question! We don’t currently support authenticating to paid journal databases using your personal university credentials, but we’ll keep this idea in mind for future updates to better support researcher community.

@raviginfo Thanks Ravi. Really glad it resonates with you! 🚀
