## Visão geral

Lune is a research layer you plug into an AI agent via a connector or MCP. It searches the full text of A/A* computer science papers, traces citations both directions, and returns answers that cite the exact source text instead of open-web noise. It also ships research best-practice playbooks and a searchable database of top-tier researcher profiles.

## Preços e planos

Freemium. There is a free entry point, with paid plans for heavier agent use and access to the full dataset. Check luneresearch.com/pricing for current tiers and limits.

## Principais recursos e capacidades

- **Full-text semantic search:** 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.
- **Citation tracing:** 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.
- **Agent connector and MCP server:** Lune connects to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-capable clients, so your agent can pull real paper text and best-practice guidance mid-task.
- **Research best-practices library:** Battle-tested guidance on novelty checks, baselines, ablations and reviewer expectations is surfaced at the moment it is relevant, not buried in a wiki.
- **Researcher talent database:** Search leading computer scientists by research area, school or name, and check publication track records with contact details for outreach.

## Principais casos de uso

- **Map a new research area (Graduate student):** Start with a plain-language question, pull the foundational papers, read their claims in their own words, and trace citations forward and backward to map the state of a field.
- **Pressure-test a research idea (PhD researcher):** Run a proposed idea past prior work, get a straight answer on how novel it really is, and find the concrete gap that is still open.
- **Design a defensible experiment (Lab researcher):** Get the baselines, ablations and controls reviewers expect for your method, so the paper does not get desk-rejected for a predictable omission.
- **Ground an internal agent in real literature (Applied AI engineer):** Connect Lune to your coding or writing agent so every literature claim it makes comes back with a citation checked against the source text.

## Pontos fortes

- Answers are grounded in the actual full text of peer-reviewed papers, with sources you can check
- Connects to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients so it works inside the agent you already use
- Best-practice libraries cover the unglamorous things reviewers punish, such as missing baselines and weak novelty arguments
- Researcher talent database with publication records and contact details is unusual and genuinely useful

## Limitações

- Centered on top-tier computer science venues, so researchers in other fields may find coverage thin
- Requires connecting an agent (Claude, ChatGPT or a compatible MCP client) to get the most from it
- Most value depends on an existing AI agent and a paid plan; the free tier is limited
- Not a general web search engine — it deliberately ignores blogs, forums and non-archival sources

## Perguntas frequentes

### How is Lune different from a normal AI search engine?
Lune scopes its corpus to peer-reviewed papers from A/A* venues — no open-web pages, workshop papers, tutorials, abstracts or demos. That means results come with a verifiable source, which reduces the risk of an agent inventing citations.

### Do I need Claude or ChatGPT to use Lune?
It is designed first as a connector for AI agents, including Claude and ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible clients. You install Lune and your agent can call its search, full-text retrieval and guidance tools while it works. There is also a CLI and web dashboard, and most people pair Lune with their existing assistant rather than using it standalone.

### Which conferences and papers are covered?
Lune indexes A/A* computer science conferences, with coverage that varies by venue but reaches the mid-2020s for most major security, systems, machine learning, HCI and theory conferences. It also includes talks, interviews and notes from influential researchers.

### What do you get on the paid plans?
Full-text semantic search in plain language, citation tracing in both directions, evidence-grounded answers with source quotes, a research best-practices library covering topics like novelty and expected baselines, a talent database with publication records, and venue listings. Pricing is freemium, with a free entry point and paid plans for heavier agent use — check the site for current tiers.
