Your complete AI-powered research platform
Generate publication-ready figures with AI, write and collaborate on papers in a full LaTeX editor, and verify every reference before submission — all in one platform built for researchers.
Everything you need to publish
Three integrated tools that cover the full research-to-publication pipeline — from figures and writing to verification.
Publication-ready figures from text
Paste your methodology or upload data. Our multi-agent pipeline — Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer, Critic & Polish — generates NeurIPS-grade diagrams with mathematically precise statistical plots. Zero design skills required.
Collaborative LaTeX editing — free for everyone
Write, compile, and collaborate on LaTeX documents in real time. Powered by Overleaf CE+, with track changes, Git integration, inline comments, and a full template gallery. Included free with every ResearchBanana account.
Catch hallucinated citations before reviewers do
Upload your draft PDF. Our verification engine checks every reference against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and academic databases. Get a full integrity report with existence checks, journal quality ratings (ABS, FT50, ABDC), and contextual accuracy audits.

How it works
Three steps from sign-up to published paper.
Sign up in seconds
Create your free account — no credit card required. You get instant access to the LaTeX editor and 8 AI credits to try figure generation and reference verification.
Choose your tool
Generate publication-ready figures from text, open the collaborative LaTeX editor to write your paper, or upload a draft to verify all references for accuracy.
Publish with confidence
Every figure meets NeurIPS/ICML standards. Every reference is verified against CrossRef and Semantic Scholar. Submit knowing your paper is polished and accurate.
Why ResearchBanana?
The only platform that combines AI figure generation, collaborative writing, and reference verification in one place.
One platform, zero tool-switching
Stop juggling separate tools for figures, writing, and verification. ResearchBanana brings everything into a single workspace so you spend time on research, not tool setup.
Publication-grade aesthetics
Consistently outperforms baselines in faithfulness, conciseness, and visual quality. Our AI figure pipeline ensures outputs meet the rigorous standards of NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR.
Code-based statistical plots
Instead of rendering charts as pixels, we generate executable Matplotlib code from raw data. Bars, data points, axes, and scales are mathematically precise — zero hallucination.
Real-time collaboration
Write papers together in the LaTeX editor with real-time multi-cursor editing, inline comments, track changes, and Git integration — all included free for every user.
Automated reference verification
Upload your draft and get a full integrity report. Every citation is checked against CrossRef and Semantic Scholar for existence, DOI accuracy, journal quality, and contextual correctness.
Upload-driven context
Attach PDFs, data files, CSV tables, or reference images. Our agents extract methodology, parse data, and generate figures grounded in your actual research — zero hallucination.
