The AI-powered reference manager that lets you manage your papers and research from anywhere. *Afforai is offering lifetime deals on AppSumo for limited time.
Hi everyone, I'm Alec, co-founder of Afforai. The last time we launched on PH was back in July 2023 which you guys voted us #4 Product of The Day. It's almost one year anniversary and we went through many changes since then.
We got over 50,000 researchers using Afforai, generated nearly a million dollars of revenue in our 1st year of business, raised capital from amazing VCs like Plug and Play Tech Center, Sputnik ATX VC, etc.
So, to say the least, it all started from Product Hunt, we couldn't be where we are without you guys. The reason we're doing a 2nd launch is because my co-founder and I interviewed hundreds of our power users and developed the next version of Afforai based on insights learned from our users. Afforai's mission remains the same, to help enhance researchers around the world.
Afforai is now reborn as an AI-Integrated research reference manager. My background in academia research and as a Gen-Z used to modern apps, Zotero and Mendeley posed many issues. I wanted to use Zotero during college but it was too overwhelming. And also, don't get me started on ChatGPT. ChatGPT as a general productivity tool is awesome but in research is super dangerous when the information is not verifiable. That's why I created Afforai.
Here are some problems I have with Zotero and ChatGPT:
❌ Have to download a desktop app and sync files manually
❌ Outdated and complicated UI with a buggy web app
❌ Have to open a new tab to use ChatGPT and it provides false info
❌ The document storage provided is not enough
Therefore, I set out to make improvements on Afforai:
✅ One unified web app to manage your research papers
✅ Auto-fill in papers' metadata to generate bibliographies (10K citation styles supported)
✅ AI integration to do literature reviews and research with reliable citations
✅ Unlimited storage and unlimited use of AI models like GPT-4, Claude v3, Sonnet, etc.
We're offering lifetime access deals to Afforai on AppSumo for limited time so make sure to get yourself a deal before it's gone. Thank you for your support thus far, and we're committed as ever to continue creating tools that enhance researchers around the world and accelerate the world's research!
