AI-native workspace for literature reviews and auditable systematic reviews
Ask a research question in plain language and get a synthesized answer drawn from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar, with every claim linked to its source paper.
Run PRISMA-style reviews with a predefined protocol, recorded screening decisions, dual independent reviewers and a conflict resolver, and a PRISMA diagram generated from your actual counts.
Import from Zotero or Mendeley, add papers by DOI, and get metadata and open-access PDFs fetched automatically, with annotations and notes that feed every other workflow.
Define custom extraction columns and have AI fill them across many papers, with each value linking back to the sentence it came from, exportable to CSV or Excel.
Map the literature around the papers you love—free
Start from one paper and see how research connects through a visual map of related works, authors and citations.
The more you explore and select, the better it learns your interests, surfacing smarter and more relevant recommendations.
Explore how your existing review connects and discover papers you may have missed, avoiding endless flat article lists.
Bring your reference library and ResearchRabbit together so your collection and discovery work in one place.
