Overview

What They Do

PACR is a research workspace for modern science. PACR helps researchers search for papers, get citation-backed AI answers, save and organize sources, build research libraries, collaborate with teams, and turn research into usable insights in one connected workspace. Instead of only helping with literature discovery, PACR supports the full research workflow from first search to final insight. Researchers can ask questions, review sources, export references, organize papers, and work across projects without switching between multiple tools. Our goal is to become the go-to workspace for researchers, students, doctors, labs, universities, and scientific teams.

Challenge

Problem We Are Solving

Over 91 million research papers have been published since 2000, with nearly 400 new papers added every hour. Researchers are not dealing with a lack of information. They are dealing with too much information spread across too many disconnected tools. Today, the research workflow is fragmented across search engines, PDFs, citation managers, notes, spreadsheets, AI chats, and writing tools. This makes it slow and difficult to find the right papers, verify evidence, organize insights, collaborate, and turn research into usable output.
