This is my first time! Be gentle! ;-)
Researchbuddy.app is a FREE app which aims to help professionals and academics create briefings and literary reviews in minutes. Get up to speed on a certain subject before your meeting with our one page Briefings, or ask it to create a literary review for an academic paper. it will review the available research and summarise key themes and conclusions, savings days of your time.
All feedback welcome!

don`t waste your money and your time, all the researches are old, the newest one i saw was in 2013, most the researches are from 90s.
also it provides false information, a research about covid19 was dated 2018. moreover I didn`t find this research at all.
also if it is a real research the dates are totally wrong, I was mentioned a study in the literature review, it was dated 2018, then I found that study but i saw it was published 2005.
Then after getting some literature reviews I was shocked that more than half of the researches were fabricated and fake, they are not exist at all.
do not trust this tool, it wasted my time to finish my research.
The idea has potential. I tried using it to research Nietzsche, and it somewhat correctly summarized the discourse, but I wasn't able to find a single article, that was cited.
Edit: I must admit, I was a bit too harsh on my initial review, especially for a first review. The papers still don't exist, but while testing multiple AI research tools for a presentation about use cases of AI in academia, I found out, that by searching for the given conclusions semantically, it is possible to find relevant papers. It's probably a good tool to get some inspiration in a new field. Still doesn't do, what it is supposed to, but it's a good tool in the right workflow.

Hey Thomas! Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to review it. At its core is chatgpt, which as we know is susceptible to hallucinations. In version 2 we hope to link it to a research paper so we can minimise that sort of occurrence. As with most apps based on generative AI, its designed to be an aid to creating literary reviews rather than completely replacing it.
I must admit, I didn't test it Nietzsche, but it does very well at Business Strategy and a number of other areas.
Thanks again!

It's a really great idea. However, I can find only a few of the articles it suggests, making it a bit useless in aiding in research. I used it to look into collagen-based dressings for diabetic ulcers. It does give a very good structure though.
