Knowra
Claude connectorCommunitySearch arXiv papers and read Scout reports on methods, evidence and limitations, so you can decide which papers deserve a close read.
Knowra helps researchers find relevant arXiv papers and decide where to spend their reading time, directly in Claude.
Search papers by research question, keywords, authors or date range. Knowra searches indexed arXiv titles, authors and abstracts, and supports exact UTC date windows of up to one calendar month, so Claude can look at only the papers from a specific day, week or month.
For papers that look promising, Claude can read a Scout report. Scout is generated from the full paper and lays out the key findings, methods, experimental conditions, evidence, verification points and stated limitations. Figures are described through their captions and text descriptions. Scout is a screening aid: it helps rule out papers that do not fit your setting and points to what you should check in the original paper. It is not a substitute for reading the paper or for peer review.
