A system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze, summarize, and extract insights from academic texts and scientific literature, helping researchers discover relevant information and generate new hypotheses more efficiently.

(As of June 2025) The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology has a website that compares the functions, sources, outputs, strengths, and weaknesses of AI tools specifically created for Literature Review.
