The AI co-author for research papers

Researchers spend more time writing papers than doing research. Bibby is an AI co-author for researchers. Forget the writing grind. Bibby digs through literature, drafts, and refines your paper. It will also find you citations and tell you mistakes before reviewers do. Think of it as a friend who knows research inside out, is by you at 3 am, and is deeply familiar with your work. Bibby has 200M+ citations, 800+ journal templates and is trusted at Yale, MIT, Stanford and Cambridge.

Hey Product Hunt! Community 👋
I'm Nilesh. I was a researcher at Yale University.
I calculated once how much time I spent that year not doing research.
Managing citations. Fixing compiler errors. Reformatting for a different journal. Emailing .tex files back and forth.
It was months.
Not hours. Months of a PhD that I will never get back. I did not want to lose my entire train of thought every single time.
That's why I built Bibby for the scientific community.

How many hours did you waste last month on something that had nothing to do with your actual research writing?
Really curious about the photo-to-equation feature. How well does it handle complex multi-line equations? And does it work well with matrices or piecewise functions?
Bibby AI
@arnol_fokam Great question! It handles all of the MLE and matrices for sure.
It even works with whiteboard photos, not just neat handwriting on paper. We've tested it pretty extensively on the messy stuff researchers actually write. Try it and let me know if you find an equation that breaks it, we'll fix it.

Curious to know, what LLM is powering the autocomplete and reviewer? Is it a fine-tuned model or are
you using something like GPT/Claude with custom prompting?
Bibby AI
@pulkitgarg Great question! Bibby works with multiple LLMs, you can connect Gemini, Anthropic, or even run it locally with Ollama(Coming soon). The reviewer is trained on evaluation criteria from top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR), so it's not just generic AI feedback so it knows what reviewers actually look for. The autocomplete uses your full paper as context, so suggestions are relevant to what you're actually writing, not just generic text completion.
What databases does the citation search pull from? Is it just Semantic Scholar or does it
also search PubMed, arXiv, CrossRef?
Bibby AI
@sachin_vishwakarma3 We have a huge list of citation search databases, which combines all of the above mentioned plus Elsevier, Springer, etc. You can also import your citations with Zotero rdf files. What do you generally use?
How difficult is it to edit the equations? Is it possible?
Bibby AI
@jonnyc123 You can select any piece of text and ask Bibby to edit in-line and it will do it for you! Totally possible!
the real test for a research AI co-author is when your sources directly contradict each other. citation conflicts are where the actual thinking happens.
Bibby AI
@mykola_kondratiuk 100%. That's exactly when deep research mode comes into play. It doesn't just find sources, it also traces citation trails and surfaces conflicting findings so you can see where the disagreements are. The actual thinking is always yours. Bibby just makes sure you're not missing the papers that challenge your argument, which honestly is the stuff most literature reviews get wrong.
This is very interesting, I would be on steroids if this has it's own memory too. So I can fetch context across my research lines.
Bibby AI
@vu3ozm This is a great idea honestly . Right now Bibby understands the full context of the paper you're working on, but a persistent memory across your research lines would be a whole different level. Noting this down for the roadmap. Would you want it to remember your past papers, or more like your broader research themes and arguments?
