Finding trustworthy research is scattered and difficult to verify
Researchers, clinicians, and evidence-minded readers want current, reliable scientific and medical information, but broad web search can be noisy and relevant reading is scattered across sites. Existing literature retrieval can feel incomplete, while study findings and replication status are not readily available as structured data for comparison. A focused discovery tool could help people find and assess sources, though it would not solve medication availability.
For researchers, clinicians, and evidence-minded readers. Mentioned from Nov 2023 to Jul 2025 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

RAGs are currently way too limited. A RAG built using all of PubMed and updated weekly would be a very different story. I would pay good money for that
I wish there was a way to add results from scientific papers to wikidata - imagine doing meta-analyses by SPARQL queries
