What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly convert an academic paper (working paper or published article) into a precise, section-by-section summary you can reuse for critique, discussion, or writing.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured paper review template: Produces a consistent summary that covers claim, research question, importance, identification, data, findings, robustness, and follow-up references.
Precision-first guidance: Prompts you to name actual variables, datasets, and methods instead of using vague descriptions.
Identification-focused output: Forces an explicit, detailed explanation of the empirical strategy, including assumptions and key econometric details relevant to causal inference.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to review the paper you uploaded or linked and produce the structured summary using the full template, including a detailed identification strategy and a list of follow-up citations.
