The Problem
A thorough literature review requires reading 50-100+ papers, which takes weeks. Important papers get missed, connections between findings go unnoticed, and keeping citations organized is a nightmare. Many researchers spend more time managing papers than actually reading them.
The Solution
This agent system searches academic databases, downloads relevant papers, summarizes key findings and methods, identifies connections and gaps across the literature, and organizes everything with proper citations. You review synthesized insights instead of raw papers.

Research topic: "Large Language Models for Code Generation" Scope: 2022-2025 Focus: Performance benchmarks, training methodologies, limitations Citation style: APA 7th
š Literature Review: LLMs for Code Generation (2022-2025) 35 papers analyzed š Key Findings: 1. Transformer-based models achieve 65-85% pass@1 on HumanEval (Chen et al., 2024) 2. Fine-tuning on execution feedback improves performance by 15-25% (Li et al., 2023) 3. Multi-agent approaches outperform single-model generation by 20% on complex tasks (Zhang et al., 2024) š Research Gaps: - Limited evaluation on real-world codebases (only 3 papers use production code) - No consensus on measuring code quality beyond functional correctness - Few studies on long-context code generation (>500 lines) š Top 5 Must-Read Papers: 1. Chen et al. (2024) ā "CodeBench: A Comprehensive..." ā ā Highly cited 2. Li et al. (2023) ā "Learning from Execution..." ā Novel methodology ... š Full bibliography: 35 entries in APA 7th format attached
