24 alternatives to Raycaster
I built a lightweight web tool that lets you drop in a patent number or claim text and instantly: • Retrieve the top related patents and scientific papers - especially similar, cross-domain data that gets overlooked by traditional tools. • Visualize patents in an AI-enriched table with summarized main claims + uniqueness • See the latest litigation news on each result • Export clean CSVs for your own workflows PS - I made a linkedin post about this widget and my boss said we can do a team offsite to Disneyland if it gets 1000 replies:]…

Anakin▲148Every second thing I build needs to access the web, and I was frustrated with not finding something that just works all the time. With my team, we built this because I wanted to enable access to extremely difficult websites and apps for every AI agent. We have solved this cat-and-mouse problem with self-healing built in. It's one API to get data from hostile sites, and it can do easy sites too. You POST a URL and get back Markdown, JSON, HTML, a screenshot, or all of them. That same call handles anti-bot, proxy rotation, JS rendering, persistent authenticated sessions, and schema-based…

Dashport.ai▲40We developed an AI-driven program for data reports. I have seen the problem with founders, analysts and directors not having the control over their own data. They either waited too long for data reports from their team or struggled with complex coding. We wanted to fix this by creating a tool that works in seconds and requires no coding. The users can upload their data (Excel, CSV, MySQL files etc) and they can ask any question they want in a natural language. They will get interactive dashboards with changeable colors, sizes, type of charts etc. Please leave your feedback if you try it out,…

A few weeks ago I posted an early version of this. It was just an MCP doing web search for AI assistants. Since then it evolved rapidly. The problem I kept running into is that when I use an LLM for research, it gives me citations that look right but aren't most of the time. Sometimes the paper doesn't exist. Sometimes it does exist but it's been retracted. Most times the sources are not fully vetted nor truly relevant to my search. I got tired of checking these manually. That's why I built this updated MCP. It looks the work up in Crossref to confirm it's real. It checks the Retraction…

I built an AI-powered research agent designed to efficiently discover, summarize, and cite relevant academic papers based on user queries. As a university student, I've written my share of essays and have also served as a copy editor for our student newspaper. During fact-checking, I noticed that Google often prioritizes unreliable and unscholarly resources—such as Medium articles, Reddit posts, and LinkedIn content—in its top results over scholarly ones. For instance, searching "Transformers" yields six blogs and articles before finally listing the Vaswani (2017) paper. This makes gathering…

Hi all, I find literature searches to be slow and despite all the tools nowadays, it is difficult to map out vast areas of research and then connect my ideas to what I’m trying to do (e.g. writing a review, learning something new, planning a new project, assignments, etc). Some of my peers and teachers also found this to be a problem so I built this MVP app to help people not only leverage AI search capabilities but also go on to connect their ideas, map out research projects, cite various results and organise their “stream of consciousness” as they work. I’d love to get some feedback on it…

I tend to use AI to brainstorm domain names, but I kept wasting time pasting each idea into Namecheap to see if they were available. So I built DotComBuddy - it generates ideas (using DeepSeek V3 - switched from GPT-4o after realizing quality was just as good) and checks availability in real time via Name.com’s API. Built with Next.js and Vercel’s AI SDK, the app gives you a table of available domains with their price. 10 free searches to try it out, then $9/year (what I’d pay to never do this manually again). Sharing this for anyone else tired of switching tabs to check domains. Happy…
