Basic setup: point it at a folder of PDFs, have it recurse in and read them all, then ask it questions like:

* Summarize these papers on chimpanzee cooperation in the wild. What other papers should I be reading?

* Suggest an interesting master's thesis topic on the early modern economy.

* How good are polygenic scores at predicting educational attainment, and how has this developed over time?

Bonus: integrate it with e.g. google scholar, so it can go and find and read new papers.

Pricing: it is probably easier to start selling this to individual academics. Then when you've got a compelling product and the word is out, you could sell it to the whole lab (at a much higher price because people can put it in their grant budgets).

Gotchas: privacy. Nobody wants their hot unpublished paper to be scooped by a large language model.
