About
If you want the workspace, go straight to the pipeline. If you want the context, the questions on this page should cover it.
Founders
AI for Academic is a small two-person studio: a clinician-researcher driving the product direction and a senior software engineer leading the build.

Pediatric and plastic surgeon at Vinmec, Vietnam. Builds the product from the perspective of a working clinician-researcher operating outside large English-speaking institutions.
Nguyễn Ngọc Linh
Lead developer
Full-stack software engineer with 10+ years of experience building fast, reliable, and scalable web platforms. Linh leads the technical architecture, product experience, and AI/LLM workflows behind AI for Academic from concept to production.
The story
Because academic work is often harder than it should be, especially for researchers working outside large English-speaking institutions.
The goal is not to replace scientific judgment. The goal is to reduce friction around searching, translating, drafting, and checking so researchers can spend more energy on the actual science.
How it works
The main workspace is a direct pipeline: ask a question, gather sources, turn the shortlist into a draft scaffold, then run an integrity check.
Other tools stay available as focused utilities when you only need one part of that workflow.
What we believe
AI should assist thinking, not replace it.
Credibility matters more than sounding impressive. The product should say exactly what it can do, where the evidence is thin, and where the user still needs to decide.
Focus areas
The focus is narrow on purpose: academic writing workflows, research integrity, translation, and practical tools for clinicians and researchers who need useful output quickly.
