About AnswerThis

AnswerThis is an AI-powered research platform built to eliminate the most time-consuming part of academic research : the literature review. We serve researchers globally, from PhD students to academic professionals, helping them go from query to a comprehensive, cited review in minutes.

Our system understands how papers connect, ranks relevance, summarizes insights, and maps citations. This removes weeks of manual work. But that is just the beginning. We are building a vertically integrated AI research suite that streamlines every stage of academic discovery.

If you want to design algorithms that directly accelerate science in medicine, AI, climate, and more, this is the place to do it.
