I automated my literature review – here's how (and a free tool I built)
I was drowning. 200+ PDFs, endless manual screening, and weeks writing literature reviews from scratch. I built a tool to solve my own pain – and now I'm sharing it for free.
insighta does four things that saved my sanity:
Cited chat – Ask anything about your uploaded papers. insighta answers and shows the exact page number. No more "which PDF said that?"
50+ generation templates – Systematic reviews, meta‑analyses, full theses, grant proposals. Select your papers → click Generate. Done.
Smart flashcards – Speak or type your answers. insighta judges them like a human tutor, gives a score, and explains why. No rigid keyword matching.
Live video assistant – Point your camera at a lab setup, a circuit board, or even a car engine. Ask "Is this correct?" insighta watches and talks you through it.
The free tier is generous. No credit card. No data sharing.
I built this for researchers, not for investors. Would genuinely love your feedback – try it, break it, tell me what sucks.
