About
Built by a researcher who kept losing the thread
CurTask began with a familiar problem: a reference manager, a spreadsheet matrix and a word processor that each held part of the same literature review, and never quite agreed with one another.
The question behind it wasn't "what should a reference manager do?" but "why do I have to tell three programs the same thing about the same paper?"
It is made in Malaysia, for the way research is done here: sources in English and Malay, scanned PDFs, connections that come and go, and budgets that don't stretch to three licences.
What we commit to
The researcher is the author
The AI proposes; you accept, edit or reject. Suggested text stays marked until you take it.
Every claim traceable
No AI value appears without the page and quote it came from. If we can't show the source, we say "No source found".
Your work is not training data
Not ours, not anyone else's. Your papers, notes and writing are used only to give you the service.
Your data stays in Malaysia
Our servers and backups are in Malaysia. Where anything leaves the country, the privacy policy says what and why.
