The AI Literature Review Workflow
Research Topic β You start with your research question, however broad or narrow.
AI Super Prompt β ChatGPT transforms your topic into an optimised prompt that guides the AI agent toward comprehensive results.
Structured Literature Synthesis β Edison Scientific's Falcon returns a full literature review draft with ranked references and search queries, typically within 20β30 minutes.
Seed Paper Extraction β You pull the highest-quality papers, Boolean search strings, keywords, and theoretical frameworks from the AI output.
Citation Mapping β Research Rabbit runs forward, backward, and lateral searches from your seed papers β surfacing work that keyword searches alone miss.
Research Database β Every paper is processed through NotebookLM and entered into the pre-built Notion template β a living, searchable database of your entire landscape.
Comparative Analysis β Notion AI compares findings across 30β50 papers, maps contradictions, and surfaces genuine research gaps.
Structured First Draft β Your database generates the first draft of each section β grounded in your own notes, your critical judgments, and proper citations.

You already know the problem.

No inflated claims. These are conservative estimates based on the workflow design:
Reduce initial search and organisation time by 40β70% β by starting with an AI-generated synthesis instead of blank keyword searches.
Process 2β3x more papers per week β using NotebookLM's structured extraction instead of manual reading and annotation.
Compare 30β50 papers in a single analysis session β using Notion AI comparative prompts across your full database.
Organise 100+ sources without losing track β using the pre-built Notion template with automated filtering, timelines, and fields.
The exact results depend on your discipline, your existing skills, and how thoroughly you implement the system. But the workflow is designed to eliminate the biggest bottlenecks in the traditional approach.
What the course covers
No. AI helps you find, organise, and analyse literature. You still provide the critical thinking, evaluation, and synthesis. The course specifically teaches ethical AI usage and maintains academic integrity throughout the workflow.
The course focuses on research assistance: finding papers, reading comprehension, note organisation, and pattern recognition. It does not teach AI to generate original claims or replace your academic judgement. This distinction is built into every workflow.
No. Every core tool used in the workflow is either free or offers a free tier that is sufficient for most students. The workflow uses tools such as Edison Scientific, Research Rabbit, NotebookLM, Notion Education, and ChatGPTβs free tier. The system was designed so students are not priced out.
Not at all. Module 1 can be skipped if you already understand literature review fundamentals. Modules 2β5 improve the process even if you are already deep into your review. Many researchers use the workflow to reorganise existing work, identify gaps more clearly, and save significant time.
The tools are public. The workflow is not. The value is in how the tools connect together: the prompt sequences, the Notion template, the literature review database, and the step-by-step process from search to submission. This is a complete system, not a collection of tool tutorials.
You already know the problem
If you are here, you have probably experienced some version of this:
Random keyword searches that go nowhere.
PDFs piling up without a system.
Re-reading papers you have already processed.
A quiet worry that you might have missed something important.
The traditional approach works.
Eventually.
But it is slow, scattered, and stressful.
Which means you spend weeks building a literature base you cannot fully trust.
Which means the research gap you identified might not hold up β and you would not know until it is too late.
This is a systems problem.
And this course gives you the system.
I only wish all of these tools and your method had been available in my first year. They make the whole process feel much more manageable and help avoid that breathless feeling of being stuck in an overwhelming literature cycle.
Coming from a professional background, I was overwhelmed with the academic workload. After the course, I feel it is quite achievable. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
I recently purchased your lesson on literature reviews, and I'd like to thank you. It has been incredibly helpful. I'm confident your videos will help me work more efficiently and strategically.

What the course covers
Students who want AI to write their thesis. This teaches AI as a research assistant, not a ghostwriter. You still read, evaluate, and synthesise.
Researchers unwilling to engage with papers. The system makes reading faster and more targeted. It does not eliminate reading.
Undergraduates writing short essays. This is built for postgraduate-level reviews requiring systematic coverage across dozens or hundreds of papers.
Researchers who already have a workflow they are happy with. If you have a working system and no interest in AI tools, this course is not trying to convince you otherwise.
