The ChatLibris protocol
A useful answer—or an honest abstention.
The product is intentionally narrow. It does not browse forums, blogs, social posts, or ordinary search results to fill evidence gaps.
Screen
Keep a compact set of deduplicated papers with usable abstracts.
Synthesize
Build a plain-language digest with source IDs on every finding.
Abstain
Return unknown when valid direct evidence does not survive checks.
