Just tried it - this is pretty cool. How is it generating the search strategy? There were some questions in there that I hadnt thought of

The search strategy is generated by decomposing your initial query into sub-questions using custom prompting and retrieval heuristics— it tries to surface angles a researcher might ask but you might not think of initially.

Thats cool, yea I really like how you can actually see all the questions its asking. I'm actually learning alot through that on improving my own searches

what databases does this search over?

Same question ^ is it just research papers? If so, thats really helpful. How does it compare to google scholar?

powered by multiple databases including Semantic Scholar, PubMed, and others
