Prof-X: AI Assisted Multi-view Persona Scraper for Any Researchers in Google Scholar

Still a WIP now, use at your own risk!

What Can Prof-X Do?

• Automatically gather info about a list of researchers, by searching on Google Scholar
• AI assisted research area summary
• Publication information gathering and filtering
• Research Heatmap (An original design, super useful for research trend analysis!)
• Publication and research progressing summary (TODO)
• Author info & cross-page linking for publications (TODO)

Things you need

• An OpenAI API key
  • For AI assisted info gathering
  • Could be replaced by any local OpenAI-like API <WIP>
  • But original OpenAI API is still recommended, as it could provide a far better result
• A Tencent Translate API Key
  • For translating article names into your language
  • Chinese only currently :) Will add multilingual support after on
• An Imgur.com Client ID
  • For uploading the briefing images anonymously
  • Can be easily registered through This Link
