OpenSynthia

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Samuel. I live at the intersection of Software Engineering and Academic Research. With a background as an experienced software developer, a Master's in Orthopedic & Sports Physiotherapy, and current research in Public Health (Epidemiology), I built OpenSynthia to solve a problem I face every day: "Tab Fatigue." The Problem: I was tired of opening 50 tabs just to find 3 relevant papers for my thesis. Traditional search engines rely on exact keyword matches. If you miss a synonym, you miss the seminal paper. Plus, manually exporting citations to Zotero is a huge friction point. The Solution: OpenSynthia is the "co-pilot" I built for my own research. It combines enterprise-grade engineering with the workflow tools academics actually use. Key Features: 🔍 Multi-Query Strategies: Paste one research goal, and our AI runs 5-10 parallel searches to uncover papers others miss. 📥 Batch Workflow: Select multiple papers and save them to Zotero or sync reading lists to Notion in a single click. 🕸️ Visual Discovery: Interactive citation networks and author graphs help you spot connections instantly. ✅ Zero Hallucinations: Every finding is linked to a real DOI. I'm running this as an indie project to help fellow students and academics focus on discovery, not data entry. I'd love your feedback: Is the "Batch Save" to Zotero/Notion the biggest time-saver for you, or is it the AI search capabilities? Happy researching! 🚀
