Ehsan's Growth Take

Research Rabbit gives you the serendipity of browsing a great library shelf, powered by AI. The recommendation engine gets genuinely better as you feed it more papers. The concern is sustainability — it's free with no business model, and free tools eventually either monetize or die. Use it aggressively while it exists.
