About OpenRead
OpenRead is an AI research platform for finding, reading and understanding academic papers. It gives access to more than 300 million papers, with new papers added every five minutes from over 20,000 journals, and applies AI to search, reading and note taking. The company markets it for scientific discovery as well as market research, competitive intelligence, policy analysis and product development.
The reading tools include Paper Q&A for asking questions of a paper, Paper Espresso for short summaries, Paper Compare for comparing findings across several papers and spotting contradictions, a related paper graph, and built in note taking. AI search covers both paper search and web search. A chat assistant called Oat, short for OpenRead AI Technology, lets users choose among top tier models and handle tasks such as web lookups, diagram drawing, image editing and homework help. A trending section surfaces the papers other readers are opening, and an expert program invites users to get paid for their expertise.
It serves students, academics and professionals who work from the literature. The home page shows a free tier and a Pro tier, and the price of Pro is not shown on the home page.
