Give it a research question. Get back a structured literature review section — clustered by theme, written in academic prose, with proper citations. Searches Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex to find relevant papers, groups them into 3-6 thematic clusters, extracts methods and findings. ## What's included - **Paper search** via Semantic Scholar + OpenAlex (open APIs, no paywall hits) - **Theme clustering** — 3-6 themes emerge from the corpus - **Methods + findings extraction** per paper - **Academic-prose review drafter** in your field's conventions (IMRaD / Cochrane / qualitative) - **Gap identification** — where the literature is sparse / contradictory (= your contribution lives there) - **Citation manager** export — BibTeX / RIS / EndNote XML / Zotero - **No hallucinated papers** — every citation links to a real DOI - **Reference confidence** — flags claims that rest on a single paper vs broad consensus - **Update detector** — re-run for the same research question, get a diff of new papers ## Limitations - **Open APIs only** — paywalled papers (Elsevier, Springer, Wiley) surfaced but content limited - **Doesn't write your dissertation** — produces the literature review section, you build on it - **English-first** publishing is best covered; non-English literature has lower confidence - **Doesn't replace your advisor's read** — academic style varies by field + lab - **Subject area depth varies** — STEM + medicine well-covered, humanities + niche fields less so ## Best fit PhD students + early-career researchers writing the literature review for their first major paper. Especially valuable in the 3-6 month window before a dissertation prospectus defense — the structured 3-6 cluster output gives your committee a clear picture of how you see the field.
