Connect Lune to your AI app

When you connect Lune, your AI assistant gets a small set of new abilities, nothing to learn, nothing to remember. Just ask the assistant a research question and it'll reach for the right ability automatically.

What your assistant can do once Lune is connected

• Search top-tier research papers. Hybrid search across the corpus, ranked by quality + freshness. The assistant gets back titles, authors, abstracts, and links.
• Follow citation trails. Look up which papers cite a paper and which papers it builds on. Useful for "what's the lineage of this idea."
• Read full text. Where we have permission, the assistant can pull the actual sections of a paper (methods, results, related work).
• Browse and subscribe to conferences. Keep a watch on venues you care about (NeurIPS, ICLR, CCS, etc.) and pull a fresh digest of new papers on demand.
• Look up research best-practices. Lune curates a small library of guidance on how to write a related-work section, design an ablation, pick a venue, and more, your assistant can search it and cite it.

One-command research workflows

For common jobs, Lune adds ready-made workflows that your AI app can surface as slash commands. Type the command and your assistant runs the whole sequence (search, read, compare, verify, cite) instead of you spelling out every step.

• /literature_review takes a topic and gives you a survey: the main themes, the foundational and recent work, and the open gaps.
• /find_related_work takes your abstract and returns the prior work to cite, grouped by theme, with a note on how your contribution differs.
• /compare_papers builds a comparison table across papers; you pick the columns (dataset, metric, result, and so on).
• /verify_draft fact-checks a paragraph or a list of claims against the literature, with an exact supporting quote for each.
• /trace_citations traces a paper's lineage: what it built on, what built on it, and adjacent work.
• /research_methodology gives grounded advice on experiment design, ablations, evaluation, responding to reviewers, or choosing a venue.

Not every app shows slash commands yet. Where they don't, just ask in plain language and your assistant reaches for the same abilities.

Pick your setup

• Desktop AI apps: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI.
• Web AI apps: Perplexity, Manus, Hermes, and any web-based AI app that supports custom connectors.

If you're not sure which to pick, Claude Desktop and Claude Code are the smoothest setups, and the Install page has a one-click recipe for each.

What's the difference?

• Desktop AI apps connect to Lune locally: they run a tiny helper on your machine that talks to your Lune account.
• Web AI apps connect to Lune online: they go through a sign-in page in your browser the first time and remember the connection after that.

Either way, your assistant gets the same abilities. Pick whichever matches the app you actually use.

Switching apps

You can connect Lune to as many apps as you want: they all share your account, your daily allowance, and your credits. The dashboard's Install page is the canonical place to manage which apps are connected.
