Gatsbi

Overview

Gatsbi is an AI platform built specifically for academic research and scientific writing. It handles the full research lifecycle: discovering novel hypotheses, running systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses, drafting complete papers with proper citations, and even generating patent disclosures. The tool targets researchers, PhD students, and innovators who spend weeks on literature reviews and manuscript drafts. Gatsbi compresses that timeline by automating the labor-intensive parts while keeping the researcher in control of direction and quality. What separates Gatsbi from general-purpose AI writers is its focus on academic rigor. It generates in-text citations and reference lists from real sources, produces diagrams, tables, and charts, and structures papers according to publication standards. Multiple AI model backends are available including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, giving users flexibility in output quality and style.

How It Works

Start by entering your research topic or question. Gatsbi searches academic databases and generates research hypotheses based on existing literature gaps. You select the direction you want to pursue, and the platform builds a structured manuscript around it. For literature reviews, Gatsbi scans published papers, extracts relevant findings, and synthesizes them into a coherent review with proper citations. Meta-analyses follow a similar automated pipeline, pulling quantitative data from studies and producing statistical summaries. The drafting engine produces section-by-section content: abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. Each section includes in-text citations linked to a generated reference list. You review and edit in the built-in editor, making adjustments before exporting the final document. Patent disclosure drafting follows a parallel process tailored to patent application structure.
