PaperPulse

PaperPulse is a mobile + web app that turns new research into a personal, trustworthy feed without pretending to “solve” science. Users pick topics (e.g., climate, AI safety, nutrition), and the app pulls newly published papers and preprints, then generates short, citation-first summaries with clear labels: peer-reviewed vs preprint, sample size, effect size, conflicts of interest, and key limitations. It also shows “consensus context” by linking to prior meta-analyses and systematic reviews when available, so one flashy paper doesn’t mislead. A lightweight culture layer makes it social: follow curators (journalists, grad students, librarians), share annotated reading lists, and host small “paper clubs” with guided discussion prompts. The product is intentionally conservative: it avoids definitive medical advice and focuses on helping users read, compare, and remember research. Monetization is subscriptions for advanced tracking, alerts, and team/library plans.
