AI research assistant for evidence-based literature review and synthesis
A research agent gathers evidence across scientific databases, journals, public data and your own uploads, then produces cited reports, tables, figures and slides.
Semantic search across more than 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials, without needing exact keywords.
High-quality research briefs inspired by systematic review methodology, with deep customization of which papers and data are included.
Automated screening and data extraction for systematic reviews, with researchers reporting up to 80% time savings.

Evidence-grounded literature search for AI research agents
Ask in plain language and Lune searches the full text of papers from top-tier venues all at once, rather than matching keywords against titles and abstracts.
See what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, so you can place a result in its research lineage instead of treating it as an isolated claim.
Lune connects to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-capable clients, so your agent can pull real paper text and best-practice guidance mid-task.
Battle-tested guidance on novelty checks, baselines, ablations and reviewer expectations is surfaced at the moment it is relevant, not buried in a wiki.
