I remember similar kind of visualization from a decade ago, called paperscape. Looked cool, worked on clustering using citations and references. Never got any idea on any use case that would be covered by such visualizations, apart from looking cool.

Today you could plug this into your agent as a second brain to give it more insight on related topics and ground it's responses when doing research or building products that can benefit from cross polinating between fields.

Jumping between arXiv, GitHub, and peer reviews is such a real pain. The “copy page as markdown for your LLM” feature is especially useful.Curious how accurate the entity linking is so far, genes/diseases/etc. That’s usually where these tools get messy.

I have a few questions: 1. I see there is a Chrome extension, but I have not used Chrome since their adblocker blocker announcement. Is a Firefox extension planned? 2. What is the business model? Is this an open beta of a paid product? If this is not a product, will the code be released at some point? 3. It would be helpful to be able to filter papers by institution or author. Is this planned or out of scope?

The extension is live in Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/tomesphere/
