For PhD students
Built for PhD students
Your advisor is busy. Conferences are in 3 weeks. Get an honest, structured review right now.
The three hardest weeks in a PhD
The weeks before a conference deadline. Your advisor has nine other students. Your committee is on sabbatical. You need somebody to tell you whether your methodology is sound and your lit review is complete — and you need that answer today, not next month.
That is the specific problem we built this for.
What you get in under 15 minutes
Upload a draft manuscript (PDF, Word or LaTeX) to AI Review — 30 credits per manuscript. A prior-publication check runs first across 7 external databases and our 4.5M-paper local library, then the 8 specialist agents read the full text in parallel. You get back:
- An overall score out of 10 and a verdict, with each agent's own score behind it.
- A structured report from each agent — methodology, formulas and equations, originality, literature coverage, reproducibility, clarity, and figures.
- Literature notes: sub-areas you under-cover and references a reviewer would expect, read against your own reference list with a live OpenAlex overview of your field as context.
- Figure-by-figure notes — error bars, caption completeness, colour-blind-safe palettes.
- A prior-publication report, so you don't get caught overlapping with your own preprint.
- Revision suggestions specific enough to copy into your to-do list.
Finding research gaps before you commit
We also index 120,000+ open research gaps mined from 100,000+ papers in a 4.5M-paper local library (gaps are mined from papers we hold, not from OpenAlex's 250M-work index, which powers the live literature search). 1,100+ of them have their own analysis page with the papers behind them.
If you are still scoping a dissertation chapter, spend 20 minutes on /research-gaps in your field. Searching is free; unlocking one topic — the filled comparison table and the gaps written from it — is 50 credits.
The honest workflow
A workflow that fits the weeks before a deadline:
- 1. Draft aggressively. Do not polish yet.
- 2. Run a Pre-Check on your title and abstract (15 credits) to see where it would land.
- 3. Run AI Review on the full draft (30 credits) for the 8-agent report.
- 4. Fix the top 3-5 issues (usually methodology clarity, missing refs, figure quality).
- 5. Show the fixed draft to your advisor for 30 minutes instead of 3 hours.
- 6. Submit to your target journal in much better shape.
