I don't know of one, but I too would be interested to see what this looks like.
How do you currently store and organize PDFs? I used to use Mendeley during grad school, and honestly I really, really liked it. But being able to ask a question and get a natural language response that suggests which papers might contain insights when taken together would be an incredible asset.
Menedely hold out here myself! Tried switching to endnote because mendeley is for all practical purposes abandonware now but the conversion is very painful with loss of a lot of data - notes, organizational structure etc.
Still using the old desktop app nearly daily. If it was still a living project, integrating something like this into mendeley would be incredible.
It's abandoned!?
I used it circa 2010-14. I believe it was still active then.
That's a shame. It was a great program. Everyone thought I was weird for not paying for endnote, but it was as good and better!
It still runs, but no updates, they just push their web interface which is very weak compared to desktop app. New user adoption is likely next to nil and most people I talk to under 30 have never heard of it. Unless there is a better tool to switch though I'll never have time to replicate the organizational infrastructure I've built in Mendeley and really like it, so I'll use it until it dissappears.
