CaiQi Scholar

Hi Product Hunt community! I'm Snake Konginchrist, founder of CaiQi Scholar. This is our first launch here, and I'm excited to share it with you. We built CaiQi Scholar because many researchers and students — especially in academic environments where deep, context-specific support is hard to find — spend too much time stuck on research questions, literature reviews, or creating clear scientific visuals. The goal was to create a focused AI assistant that handles the full early-to-mid research workflow without superficial answers. It started from real pain points in thesis writing and math modeling processes (which are essentially structured research), and evolved into three core tools: Research Consultant for in-depth brainstorming and methodology guidance Literature Librarian for efficient paper search and review generation Research Illustrator for quick professional figures and charts We're still iterating based on user feedback, and this launch is a big step to reach more people who do serious academic work. Would love your thoughts: What challenges do you face in research or paper prep? Any tough questions you'd like to test us on? Feedback is super welcome — jump in and ask anything. Thanks for checking it out! Looking forward to the conversation.
