Description
Labrix is a research workspace for academics. Search papers, build a library, and draft your manuscript section by section, where every citation points to a paper in your library that you can open and check. Run a plagiarism and writing-style check before you submit, format in 10,000+ citation styles, export to Word or to LaTeX for 450+ journals and conferences, and turn the paper into slides. Free plan, no credit card. Your work is never used to train AI models.

Could you build this?
Partial The rich text editing and citation formatting UI is vibe-codeable, but integrating real-time academic paper search, citation verification, and comprehensive plagiarism detection requires large-scale external API integrations and specialized databases.
What it would actually take: Requires a rich-text editor (e.g., Tiptap/ProseMirror) integrated with academic search indexes (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref APIs) and vector databases for citation matching. The difficult aspects are license agreements and infrastructure for high-accuracy academic plagiarism checking (e.g., Turnitin or Copyleaks APIs) and managing tens of thousands of CSL (Citation Style Language) formatting rules reliably.
