A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
Open-source DynamoDB capacity visualization with Amazon Bedrock AI insights
Connect with an AWS access key and secret key, then browse and monitor the DynamoDB tables in your account.
Pick a table and date range to generate clear graphs of provisioned versus consumed capacity, so you can judge whether provisioning is right-sized.
A one-click AI panel uses Amazon Bedrock (Mistral 7B Instruct by default) to turn raw capacity data into written insights and provisioning recommendations.
Optionally save generated analyses and metrics to a DynamoDB table in your own account, then regenerate graphs later to compare trends over time.
