Stop drowning in papers. Read the ones that matter.
Literature Assistant fetches the newest research for your topic, has an LLM summarise and score every paper for relevance, and learns from your feedback to surface what you should read next.

Two ways to work through the literature
One tool, two modes - whether you want a daily pulse on a field or to systematically mine it.
Daily Brief
Pulls the most relevant new papers from Semantic Scholar (journals, IEEE, ACM, arXiv), has an LLM summarise and rate each 1–5, and shows a ranked list so you only read the top ones.
Research Assistant
Takes the papers you've liked and suggests the closest new matches across the whole literature, ranked by your own learned taste — one round at a time.
Built-in evaluation
Is the LLM actually worth it? The tool compares LLM scores against TF-IDF and embeddings on the papers you label yourself — with precision, recall and ranking metrics.
How it works
From a research question to a ranked reading list in minutes.
Built to answer a real question
Is an LLM genuinely better at triaging research than simple keyword or embedding methods? This tool measures it — and helps you keep up with your field along the way.
