Explore the academic literature as a visual graph of related papers
Each graph places the seed paper among its most closely related works, clustered by how often papers are cited together or share references.
Separate perspectives show what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, which is ideal for tracing a research lineage.
Start from a paper title, DOI, URL or proceedings link, so you can enter the graph from whatever you already have at hand.
A ranked list view lets you browse related publications by relevance when you need specifics rather than an overview.
AI text analysis with knowledge graphs to reveal topics and content gaps
Convert any text into a visual network of words and their connections, so topics and their relationships become explicit at a glance.
Automatically surface the structural gaps between topical clusters — the under-connected areas where original ideas are most likely to appear.
Generate per-topic summaries and AI-created questions that bridge two clusters, turning a graph into a concrete line of inquiry.
Connect InfraNodus to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own agent over MCP so graph reasoning grounds the model's answers and actions.
