SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates literature-guided research idea generation to help researchers quickly surface novel directions by integrating up-to-date papers and structured discussion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literature search orchestration: automatically retrieves recent publications from multiple sources (e.g., arXiv, PubMed) and synthesizes trends.
  • Gap identification and idea drafting: analyzes retrieved literature to identify open problems and drafts a structured idea with background, gaps, proposed methods, and potential impact.
  • Iterative user discussion: engages in step-by-step dialogue with the user to refine novelty and feasibility, saving intermediate results as traceable markdown files.
  • Output persistence: saves the final structured idea as IDEA.md in the workspace root for downstream method design or paper writing.

Quick Start

Provide a domain or topic to kick off literature search and idea generation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate research ideas from literature automatically?

You can automate literature-guided research idea generation by providing a topic to trigger searches across sources like arXiv and PubMed, synthesize trends, and draft structured ideas with background, gaps, and proposed methods.

Can I use this to find research gaps from recent papers?

Yes, you can find research gaps from recent papers by retrieving publications from multiple sources, analyzing them to identify open problems, and drafting a structured idea that highlights the identified gaps and potential impact.

How do I refine generated research ideas through discussion?

To refine generated research ideas, engage in step-by-step iterative dialogue with the system to assess novelty and feasibility, saving intermediate traceable markdown files during the discussion process.

Does the tool save the final research idea as a markdown file?

Yes, the tool saves the final structured research idea as an IDEA.md file in the workspace root, ensuring the output is persisted for downstream method design or paper writing tasks.

What do I need to start literature-guided idea generation?

To start literature-guided idea generation, you simply need to provide a target domain or research topic to kick off the automated search, gap analysis, and drafting workflow without requiring additional dependencies.
