Grad students: pick up every thread where it left off

Littlebird captures your advisor meetings, tracks your commitments, and remembers where every half-finished thread of your research left off.

Your dissertation lives in two hundred PDFs, three years of notes, advisor meetings you half-remember, and drafts scattered across apps. The hard part was never reading -- it's holding all of it in your head at once.

Littlebird holds it for you. It sees the papers on your screen, remembers your advisor's feedback, and answers questions across your entire research history -- so writing becomes synthesis instead of archaeology.

What Littlebird does for

Graduate students

01

Searches across everything you've read

"Which paper argued X, and what was their method?" Ask and get the answer from the PDF you had open in February, without rebuilding your Zotero mental index.

02

Captures advisor meetings

Every piece of feedback from every check-in is transcribed and summarized -- no bot in the meeting. Six months of advisor guidance becomes something you can actually query.

03

Files notes into your system

Reading notes and meeting summaries land in Notion, created and updated by Littlebird, so your knowledge base builds itself as you work.

04

Prepares you for check-ins

Before an advisor meeting, get a brief: what you committed to, what feedback is unaddressed, what you've read since. You show up looking impossibly organized.

Ask in plain words

A real prompt — typed exactly the way you’d say it.

You, to Littlebird
What are the main methodological criticisms of my approach across everything I've read and my advisor's feedback?

Frequently asked

I'm a student -- what does it cost?

The Student plan is $15 per month for actively enrolled students, with the first two months free -- apply with a .edu email. There's also a free Basic plan to start with.

Can it read my PDFs?

If the PDF is on your screen, Littlebird can use what's in view. It connects with Google Drive too, for deeper context and actions.

Does it work on Windows?

Yes -- Mac and Windows are both supported.

Will a bot show up in my advisor meetings?

No -- it captures and summarizes without joining the call.

Is my unpublished research safe?

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, never sold, and never used to train models. Littlebird holds SOC 2 certification; deleting anything, whenever, is always yours.
