Description

Start with your biomedical research question. LitSynth helps you find papers, choose which ones to include, and write a literature review draft with citations. Open the linked sources and available passages to check what each paper says. Keep paper selection and writing in one place, then revise the draft. Researchers review the sources and conclusions before using it.

Could you build this?

Partial Connecting to paper APIs is easy, but biomedical evidence extraction with accurate hallucination-free citation grounding requires sophisticated RAG and medical domain pipelines.

What it would actually take: The system requires integrations with PubMed/Semantic Scholar APIs, specialized PDF parsing (e.g., GROBID) to accurately extract tables, methods, and results sections, and fine-tuned embeddings/rerankers tailored for biomedical literature (like BioBERT). Citation grounding requires precise sentence-level attribution models and validation checks to avoid medical misinformation. Building this requires deep retrieval pipeline engineering and domain-specific validation.
