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
- 1Drop each PDF inMemory.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.
- 2Let the concept index buildBackground 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.
- 3Bundle by questionGroup 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.
- 4Deploy the hub URLPaste 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.
