EssentAI
Organise, analyse and synthesise research literature with AI
Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
Productivity. Launched 6d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #500. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching. It's anchored at 150 pts.
It placed #500 on PeerPush with 3 votes.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Quiet for 3 days — no penalty yet. Bleeding begins on day 7.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
EssentAI is a local-first desktop application that brings AI to your academic literature review workflow - without sending your data to the cloud. Built for researchers, PhD candidates and academics, it extracts key information from journal articles, organises your library by project, and generates a synthesis matrix that compares theoretical frameworks and constructs across papers. What EssentAI does Import a journal article as a PDF and EssentAI will extract the title, authors, summary, research gap, theoretical frameworks, key constructs, methodology and findings — automatically. Each article gets its own structured card so you can assess relevance before committing time to a full read. The synthesis matrix lets you compare constructs and frameworks across multiple papers in a single view, making it easier to identify patterns, gaps and contradictions in the literature. A built-in notes editor lets you capture passages from articles with citations inserted automatically. Notes are saved to named notebooks organised by theme, not by article. What makes it different Most AI research tools are cloud-based and process your documents on remote servers. EssentAI keeps everything local. Your PDFs, notes, extracted data and project files never leave your machine. This makes it suitable for sensitive, unpublished or embargoed research. There is no per-analysis subscription fee tied to usage. You bring your own OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly at their standard rates. For a typical literature review, API costs are modest. Who it is for EssentAI is discipline-agnostic. It works equally well across the social sciences, health, education, business, engineering and the humanities. If your research involves reading and synthesising journal articles, EssentAI is designed for you. Available on Windows and macOS. Free trial included - no credit card required.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
