Education & research
Students and researchers need to search papers, notes and course material by meaning, often on their own laptops.
The challenge
Section titled “The challenge”- Keyword search misses papers that use different terms.
- Course material is spread across files and years.
- Not every institution allows uploading material to cloud AI.
Why SrvDB fits
Section titled “Why SrvDB fits”- Paper search by meaning over a personal or lab library.
- Study assistant that answers from course notes with citations.
- Runs on a laptop, offline, installed with pip.
