Can AI write my literature review automatically?
LitSynth can generate a cited first draft from selected papers, but the final review still needs human judgment, claim checking, and domain-specific editing.
Literature review workflow
Generate a literature review from selected papers with traceable citations
Turn a focused research question into retrieved papers, relevance scores, evidence notes, and a reviewable first draft without losing the citation trail.
Editable workflow
From research question to a review you can inspect
Each stage stays visible, so you can revise the scope or evidence choices before generating again.
- 1
Enter a research question in plain language.
- 2
Review retrieved papers and AI relevance scores.
- 3
Select the papers that should support the draft.
- 4
Generate a cited synthesis and inspect the evidence coverage.
Best for
- Creating a reviewable first draft from selected papers
- Screening evidence before synthesis
- Organizing findings into themes with traceable citations
Not a replacement for
- Submitting AI output without checking every claim
- Replacing subject expertise or academic judgment
Keep evidence decisions visible
LitSynth treats AI as support for a review process. You keep control of which papers enter the evidence set and which claims need another check.
Generate a structured literature review draft from selected papers.
Keep citations connected to the papers that support each section.
Move from broad discovery to a narrower evidence map before writing.
Export review-ready material after checking citation coverage.
Questions researchers ask
Does LitSynth invent citations?
The workflow is designed around retrieved papers and selected evidence. You should still inspect citation coverage before exporting or submitting a draft.
What is different from a chatbot?
A chatbot starts from conversation. LitSynth starts from a research workflow: retrieval, relevance scoring, paper selection, synthesis, and citation audit.
