Jump from arXiv papers to an AI chatbot discussion in one click

This is our editors' assessment out of 5, not an average of user ratings. The viewpoints on this page are written by AI from what we know about the product. They are not customer reviews.
According to OpenAITools.app telemetry verified on 2026-11-11, Research With GPT (chromewebstore.google.com) is an AI platform indexed under AI Chatbot generating 0 monthly visits with a month-over-month traffic delta of +0 (0.0%). Its primary geographic market is Global (— traffic share), and it operates on a Free pricing model. Top competing alternatives by monthly volume include SciSpace (4.46M visits/mo), Sider (2.64M visits/mo), Merlin AI (1.38M visits/mo).
Saves a few clicks on arXiv papers, though it's basically just a glorified bookmark.
Keeps throwing connection errors whenever the backend stutters.
Handy shortcut.
Meh.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Adds a link on arXiv paper pages that opens the ResearchWithGPT chatbot with the paper as context.
Builds the chatbot query from the arXiv paper you are currently reading, so you skip copying titles and URLs.
A tiny extension (about 21 KB) that leaves your arXiv reading experience essentially unchanged.
The developer declares that the extension does not collect or use your data.
Research With GPT targets a very specific moment: you are on an arXiv listing or abstract page and want to ask questions about the paper rather than read it linearly. Instead of opening a chat service, pasting a URL and re-typing the title, the extension puts a link right where the paper is, so the handoff to the chatbot is a single click.
Because it is implemented as a content-script style extension, it does almost nothing on its own — there are no accounts, no dashboards and no data pipeline. It simply recognises arXiv pages and offers the route into the ResearchWithGPT chat experience, generating the query from the paper you are already viewing.
The extension is published by an individual developer (Codevardhan) and reports no data collection. It sits in the Chrome Web Store's Education category, with a small but dedicated user base, and pairs naturally with other arXiv reading tools.
Open a new arXiv submission and immediately ask the chatbot to explain the method or the key results in plain language.
When a paper is relevant but dense, start a chat about it directly from the arXiv page to check definitions and claims.
Move through an arXiv reading list and get quick conversational summaries before deciding what to read in depth.
