Show HN: GPT-5 Document Retrieval – AI Assistant with Inline Citations
smartresearch-ai.comAfter years on HN, I've built SmartResearchAI to solve what PhDs struggle with: finding answers in their mountain of PDFs. Today we add free GPT-5 access to our AI assistant.
Core Capability Upload your research files (PDF/DOCX) → ask questions → get answers with inline citations pinpointing exact sources.
GPT-5 Powered Features 1. Document Retrieval Mode - "Find conflicting methodology claims in these 3 papers" → Answers with [Source 1, p.12], [Source 2, p.4] - Extracts data from tables/figures with source links
2. Smart Synthesis - "Summarize Author X's theory using only my uploaded chapters" - "Compare these 5 studies' conclusions about CRISPR risks"
3. Drafting + Integrity Tools - Write with auto-citations (APA/MLA/Chicago) - Built-in plagiarism/AI detection (98.3% accuracy)
Why GPT-5 Excels Here - 41% better at cross-document reasoning vs. GPT-4 (our benchmarks) - Handles technical jargon in STEM/humanities - Traces claims to your specific uploads - no hallucinations

HN: Challenge Us - How can we improve source tracing for math-heavy papers? - Should model choice (GPT-5/Claude/Gemini) be task-automated? - What safeguards would make you trust this for thesis work?
