I built this because I was drowning

I'm Stian, and every morning I'd wake up to 50+ new AI papers on arXiv. By noon, another 30.

My keyword searches were failing me. Important work was using different terminology than I expected. I was spending 2 hours a day just trying to stay current—and still missing crucial papers.

So I built the search I needed: one that understands what I'm actually looking for. Not keywords. Concepts.

Now it takes me 2 minutes instead of 2 hours.

“Is it perfect? No.
Will it find every relevant paper? No.
But will it consistently surface the papers you need to read? Yes.”

Sometimes you don't need the Swiss Army knife. Sometimes you just need the tool that does one thing really well.

How litpin is different

AI-First

Built exclusively for AI/ML research

2 seconds

From search to relevant results

10 papers

Quality over quantity, always

We're not trying to be everything:

  • • If you need citation graphs → use Semantic Scholar
  • • If you need papers from 1987 → use Google Scholar
  • • If you need a research assistant → use ChatGPT

But if you need to quickly find relevant AI papers while you're in line for coffee? That's us.

Current status

✓ Indexing AI/ML/CL papers from arXiv

✓ Thousands of papers searchable

✓ Free, no login required

✓ Mobile-optimized interface

If this resonates with you...

Use it. Share it. Tell me what's missing. This is v0.1 of something that could become incredibly useful for our community. But it needs users like you to shape what it becomes.
