## What it is
An AI-powered deep research and scientific writing tool that generates publication-ready papers, reports, posters, grant proposals, and literature reviews with real-time literature search and verified citations. It can be used as a Claude Code plugin, Python package, or native CLI, and requires an Anthropic API key.

## Use cases
- write a scientific paper with real citations
- generate a literature review on a topic
- draft a grant proposal with verified sources
- create a research report from a prompt
- make an academic poster with AI
- search recent papers before writing
- convert documents to publication formats
- generate diagrams for a research paper

## When to choose
- you need AI-assisted academic or scientific writing backed by real-time literature search
- you want a CLI or Claude Code plugin for drafting research documents
- you need verified citations rather than hallucinated references
- you want an open-source alternative to hosted research-writing platforms

## When to avoid
- you need a fully hosted, no-setup research platform with enterprise integrations
- you cannot provide Anthropic or OpenRouter API keys
- you need offline writing without any LLM API access
- your writing is non-academic marketing or casual content
