What problem does it solve? Conducting rigorous academic research requires coordinating question formulation, systematic literature search, source verification, synthesis, bias assessment, and report writing — a process that is slow, error-prone, and hard to keep methodologically consistent when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 13-Agent Research Pipeline: Six phases (scoping, investigation, analysis, composition, review, revision) with dedicated agents for research questions, methodology design, bibliography, source verification, synthesis, editorial review, ethics review, and devil's advocate checkpoints. - 8 Operational Modes: full research, quick brief, paper review, literature review, fact-check, three-way WHY/HOW/WHAT paper scan, Socratic guided research dialogue, and PRISMA 2020 systematic review with optional meta-analysis (RoB 2, ROBINS-I, GRADE). - Citation Integrity Verification: Cross-index triangulation against Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, and arXiv plus Chinese-literature resolution (ISTIC/CNKI DOIs, PubMed coordinates) to detect fabricated or chimeric citations. - Use Case: A graduate student with only a vague interest in declining birth rates and higher education uses Socratic mode to converge on a FINER-scored research question, then escalates to a full systematic review with risk-of-bias assessment and a PRISMA-compliant report. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research a topic, for example: Research the impact of AI on higher education quality assurance.
