Connected Papers
Visual exploration of related academic papers
Overview
Connected Papers builds a citation-network graph around a seed paper — prior work behind it, derivative work, and parallel research. The visual layout is the killer feature: a force-directed graph that clusters related work into visual neighborhoods.

Connected Papers is a beautifully simple research tool: enter one paper and it generates a visual graph of similar work based on citation/co-citation similarity, making it easy to discover prior, derivative and seminal papers you would otherwise miss. For literature reviews and getting oriented in an unfamiliar field it is excellent and almost frictionless.
It is a discovery aid, not a full reference manager or Q&A tool, and the free tier caps the number of graphs per month (paid plans unlock unlimited). 'AI' here is graph/similarity analytics rather than generative. Globally accessible in English; coverage depends on the underlying academic corpus. A high-value, low-cost addition to a researcher's toolkit. No real public API.
