Automatically find and score this week's research papers

The system searches for new research papers each week and has AI score which ones are worth your time to read.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each new paper found.

Pattern: Exclusive Choice (4) · Multiple Instances with a priori Design-Time Knowledge (13)

The problem it solves

Keeping up with new research in your field means scanning dozens of new papers every week just to find the handful worth reading. Without a filter, you either skip the search entirely or spend hours sifting through low-value results.

Who it fits

Researchers, analysts, and product teams tracking a specific field of study.

How it works

  1. You specify the research categories to track
  2. The system searches for new papers matching those categories
  3. Duplicate papers are filtered out
  4. AI scores each paper and decides whether it's worth reading
What you get

Papers ranked by how worth reading they are

You get a weekly list of new research papers already scored for relevance, so you know which ones deserve your attention.

What you get

A scored, deduplicated list of this week's relevant research papers with links.

What you need

An OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
