Research notes

Papers + PDFs into one cited URL.

For people who read more than they remember — researchers, founders, doctoral students. Memory.Wiki turns a pile of PDFs into a hub any AI can quote back to you.

The pain

  • You read 30 papers a quarter. By month two you can't remember which one had the argument you need.
  • Your AI assistant can summarize one paper at a time but can't synthesize across the whole stack.
  • Citations go stale the moment you close the tab — title alone doesn't help future-you.
  • Notion / Obsidian work, but they don't deploy to Claude or Cursor when you switch tools.

What you do in Memory.Wiki

  1. 1
    Drop each PDF in
    Memory.Wiki extracts the text, runs the optional AI "clean up" pass, and saves it at a permanent URL. Source pages stay intact — you can re-quote with section anchors.
  2. 2
    Let the concept index build
    Background Haiku extraction notes the concepts each paper raises. Cross-paper concepts (≥2 papers) get the orange dot. The Related-in-your-hub widget surfaces overlaps you didn't notice.
  3. 3
    Bundle by question
    Group the 5-8 papers that bear on one open question into a Bundle. Set the bundle Intent ("Why does X happen when Y is held constant?"). The bundle's discoveries panel surfaces tensions across papers.
  4. 4
    Deploy the hub URL
    Paste memory.wiki/hub/<you> into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. It fetches the index + per-concept passages and answers from your actual citations, not training-data hallucinations.

What you get back

  • "What did Smith 2023 say about X?" → the AI quotes the passage with the citation.
  • Tensions across papers surface automatically — Compile a Brief and the synthesis names which paper disagrees with which.
  • When you switch from Cursor to Claude, the context is the URL. Zero re-priming.
  • Six months later, future-you can read the hub log and remember why you were investigating each thread.

Worked example

Example: hub of 12 papers on RAG retrieval

Bundle named "Why hybrid retrieval beats vector-only." Concept index links query-rewriting + reranker + sparse-dense fusion across 7 of the 12. Hub recall returns the exact passages on rerank latency tradeoffs.
