# Run a literature review

A repeatable literature review grounded in top-tier conference papers,
abstracts, citation context, and available full text. Paste this into a chat
with Lune connected:

```
You're helping me draft a literature review on <topic>.

1. Search Lune for the topic. Pull about 20 candidates.
2. Pick the 5 most-cited recent papers from top venues.
3. For each, look up the abstract and a one-hop slice of its citations.
4. Write me a markdown summary with three sections: Background, Recent
   advances, Open questions. Cite each claim inline by paper title;
   include a final references list with title, authors, venue, year,
   and the link Lune returned.
```

## Tips

- **Be narrow with the topic.** "Vision-language model alignment 2025"
  produces a tighter review than "AI safety."
- **If you want classic papers, say so.** Add "include foundational
  work since 2010" to the prompt.
- **Full text isn't always available.** Where it is, the assistant can
  quote sections directly. Where it isn't, it'll fall back to the
  abstract, and the bibliography stays accurate either way.

## What it costs

Roughly 6 to 10 requests per review: one search, a citation lookup for each
of the five papers, and a few full-text reads. If the agent searches with
`search_papers_many`, add one request per query variant, usually 5 to 8. On
the Free plan, one review uses most or all of the day's 10
requests, and welcome credits or a credit pack cover anything past that. Pro
and Max leave room for many reviews a day.
