Monitor Research Papers → Summarize with AI → Track in Database
Automatically track new research publications in your field, generate AI summaries, and maintain an organized database of relevant studies.
Workflow Steps
Google Scholar Alerts
Set up automated paper monitoring
Create Google Scholar alerts for your specific research keywords (e.g., 'galaxy classification', 'GPU acceleration'). Configure to send daily or weekly email digests of new publications.
Zapier
Trigger on new email alerts
Set up a Zapier trigger that activates when Gmail receives a Google Scholar alert email. Parse the email content to extract paper titles, authors, and abstract links.
OpenAI GPT-4
Generate paper summaries
Use Zapier's OpenAI integration to send paper abstracts to GPT-4 with a prompt asking for: key findings, methodology, relevance to your research, and potential applications. Limit to 150-word summaries.
Airtable
Store in research database
Automatically add each paper to an Airtable base with fields for title, authors, publication date, AI summary, relevance score, and follow-up status. Tag papers by research area for easy filtering.
