Good resource for the academically-inclined user

Man, I wish I had this 20 years ago while doing my masters degree! Having already purchased docAnalyzer, Afforai/Logically, and others on AppSumo, this was like buying one more shirt while already having a closet-full of shirts! So far, no regrets, just wish-fors!

To me, Paperguide (PG) is a combination of a lot of existing AI tools like docAnalyzer, Katteb, Affori and a few others, but with no query or word limits, which I like. I also like the fact that there is a built-in AI writer (Tier 2 and above), a PDF file summarizer (no limit queries), and a literature-specific query option. I tried the literature query 'Was Hamlet an angry man.', and PG came back with some good, relevant Hamlet-specific responses and citations.

A few UI notes I found: In the literature section, there is no option to save output, just share it (via a URL). The main query section offers a save as PDF option that I liked, and I expected the same option here as well. Inconsistant UI, not sure? Regardless, I need a PDF, please!

It looks like the research output is based on the APA (American Psychological Association) writing style, and I wish I had the option to choose MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) writing styles for output. I know most universities and schools go with APA, but having the MLA option is a nice option to have.

Overall, not just another AI writing tool, but a good conglomerate of several existing tools in a decent, usable package.
