What problem does it solve?
You need broad, up-to-date research paper discovery that goes beyond keyword-only results from arXiv or Semantic Scholar.
Core Features & Use Cases
- AI-powered literature discovery: Uses Gemini to decompose your topic into sub-problems and naming variants to surface relevant papers you might miss with traditional indexes.
- Structured paper outputs: Produces a consistent list of papers including title, authors, year, venue, arXiv ID, DOI, code link, and a one-sentence contribution summary.
- MCP-first execution with fallback: Tries Gemini via the Claude Code MCP tool first and falls back to the Gemini CLI if MCP is unavailable.
Use Case: You’re exploring a research direction (e.g., “efficient diffusion transformers for medical imaging”) and want a diverse shortlist of recent papers, surveys, and code-enabled work across multiple angles.
Quick Start
Ask for paper discovery by saying: /gemini-search "your research topic" — year: 2022-
