What problem does it solve? Conducting rigorous academic research requires coordinating literature search, source verification, synthesis, bias checking, and report writing — a process that is slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to confirmation bias and fabricated citations when done ad hoc. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 13-Agent Research Pipeline: Coordinates specialized agents across 6 phases (scoping, investigation, analysis, composition, review, revision) with mandatory Devil's Advocate checkpoints and ethics review. - 7 Operational Modes: full, quick, review, lit-review, fact-check, socratic (guided research dialogue), and systematic-review (PRISMA 2020 with RoB 2/ROBINS-I and meta-analysis). - Source Integrity Controls: Cross-index triangulation via Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and Crossref to detect hallucinated or contaminated citations, plus predatory journal screening. - Use Case: Ask it to research the impact of AI on higher education quality assurance, and it produces a verified annotated bibliography, synthesis with gap analysis, and a full APA 7.0 report reviewed by editorial, ethics, and devil's advocate agents. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research a topic such as the impact of AI on higher education quality assurance and select a mode like full, quick, or socratic.
