Find research gaps and generate questions from your PDFs

Uploads your PDFs, maps the ideas inside them, and generates research questions from the gaps it finds.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each uploaded pdf document.

The problem it solves

When you're deep in a pile of research papers or market reports, it's hard to see what's missing from the conversation, not just what's already been said. Coming up with genuinely new research questions on your own takes time and can miss obvious blind spots.

Who it fits

Researchers, analysts, or content strategists working through multiple documents who need fresh angles.

How it works

  1. You upload several PDF documents through a simple form
  2. Text is extracted from each document
  3. The combined text is mapped into a knowledge graph to find gaps between topics
  4. AI generates research questions that bridge those gaps
  5. The questions are shown back to you in the same form
What you get

Research questions surfaced from your own documents

You get fresh research questions drawn from the gaps between the ideas already sitting inside your own documents.

What you get

A set of AI-generated research questions based on the gaps found across your documents.

What you need

An InfraNodus account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
