ResearchRabbit is a literature-review platform that visualizes connections between academic papers — citation networks and related-work graphs — to help researchers discover relevant papers they might otherwise miss by keyword search alone. It's used to organize academic sources and explore a research area by following citation relationships visually rather than through a flat search results list.

Claude by Anthropic is the assistant most professional writers and engineers reach for when quality matters more than novelty. Its long context window handles book-length documents in a single prompt, its Artifacts panel makes iterating on drafts and code feel like collaborating, and its reasoning tends to be more cautious than ChatGPT. Claude Projects let you set persistent instructions and reference files across a whole workstream. It is not the fastest to add flashy features, but its outputs are consistently thoughtful, and Anthropic's safety focus makes it a common enterprise choice.
