NovelSights is an AI research intelligence platform that delivers daily, AI-scored digests across academic and practitioner sources — surfacing the signal worth acting on without the noise. Users pick topics, toggle sources (Semantic Scholar, Hacker News, and more), and receive synthesized weekly briefs by email. Each signal is AI-scored for relevance and tagged to the products or problems a user actually cares about. Built on Next.js 14, TypeScript, Prisma, Clerk, and Vercel, with a Neon database, Resend for transactional email, and a live MCP server exposing six tools so the platform can be queried directly from AI clients like Claude.
