Paipers
An AI-powered writing platform with proprietary auto-citation technology
2024–presentPaipers is a SaaS platform that helps students, academics, and professionals produce structured, cited written content using AI. The core product combines document building, AI-assisted text generation, and SmartCite, a proprietary auto-citation engine that finds supporting references from peer-reviewed manuscripts.
Co-founded with Dr David McMinn, I built the full application from the ground up. The document builder uses section-based widgets for flexible content composition. Text generation integrates multiple large language models, chosen per task for accuracy. SmartCite searches academic databases and attaches properly formatted references to highlighted text automatically.
The platform supports multiple languages, exports to Word and Google Docs, and includes built-in tone and style controls so content lands with the right audience. The team has also presented research on citation accuracy at a leading medical publications conference.
