From Search to Synthesis

Systematic reviews remain the gold standard of evidence synthesis, yet a single interdisciplinary search returns tens of thousands of records — and by the time the review publishes a year later, its search is already stale. AI tools address pieces of the problem (screening here, extraction there) but run as disconnected components without a shared audit trail. LivingMeta integrates those pieces into one platform: continuous screening, multi-perspective AI extraction, automated gap analysis, and research threads where a human researcher and an AI agent build on each other's work within a reproducible workflow.

Findings cite by paper identifier, not by invented authors. Every extraction carries the perspectives that produced it — where they agreed, where they disagreed — visible to anyone reading the synthesis. The underlying data is open, every pipeline step is versioned and logged, and the final word on a disputed extraction is a human reviewer, not a model.

What You'll Find Inside

Every instance gives researchers four linked surfaces — each one populated by the same continuous pipeline.

Papers

Browse the Literature

Every paper in the field, classified by relevance and cross-validated by multiple AI perspectives. Filter by methodology or evidence model; agreement scores flag where the AI is confident, and disagreement shows where human judgment belongs.

Resources

Curated Datasets & Tools

Datasets, questionnaires, measurement instruments, and research tools surfaced across the corpus, each linked back to the papers that use them. Reusable building blocks for the next study — not locked inside per-paper notes.

Agenda

Priority Research Agenda

A ranked list of high-impact evidence gaps, generated from the literature itself and scored for frequency, depth, and feasibility. Updates as the field evolves — a living research priorities document, not a frozen opinion piece.

The Lab

Collaborative Research Threads

Researchers work alongside an AI agent — from exploring a question to designing a study to writing it up. Uploaded documents, cited papers, and findings stay with the thread. Role-adaptive coaching scales the scaffolding to the researcher's expertise.
