Overview
Literfy is an AI-powered tool that enables researchers to search, organize and write literature reviews. It integrates with leading research databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar to surface key research papers.Using its precision search, researchers can find seminal papers, avoiding excessive pdf searches. It provides features like topic clusters to identify any gaps in sources and suggests missing citations.The software auto-generates searchable expressions and allows users to filter results by year, venue, and citations. Users can save their search results to their library, export them in BibTeX/Overleaf-ready citations or PDFs.Literfy also aids in writing literature reviews by generating outlines grounded in real papers. The resulting review sections come with linked citations and can be easily reorganized using drag-and-drop functionality.Furthermore, Literfy ensures the credibility of their reviews by stating only facts grounded in selected papers, avoiding 'AI hallucinations'. The software's end product can be exported in various formats like LaTeX, Markdown, or Word, with a complete and correctly formatted citation list, and can be seamlessly integrated with reference management software like Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote.
