workflow

A research co-pilot that moves as fast as you think

Every stage is explainable. Every claim is traceable.

Step 01

30 seconds

Frame the problem

Paste a research brief, proposal excerpt, or reviewer comment. OpenSynthia extracts entities, hypotheses, and constraints.

Step 02

90 seconds

Launch the multi-query engine

The system generates parallel keyword strategies, runs each through OpenAlex (20 papers per query), and reconciles duplicates into one list.

Step 03

3 minutes

Score & triage the corpus

Papers are ranked by blended relevance, novelty, and credibility signals. Flag retractions, open access links, and DOI chains.

Step 04

2 minutes

Synthesize the narrative

Select key papers to run the AI literature review generator, copy citations, or export BibTeX files. Every claim links back to a DOI.

Step 05

Instant

Share & iterate

Share a search URL, reopen recent queries, or push selected papers straight to Zotero collections for the next drafting session.
