An AI / LLM tool that utilizes search results from Google Scholar to generate its own results and visuals (from VOSviewer). Seems limited given that GS does not have an API, but nevertheless interesting.
Playing with @zetavector , one of the academic search engines that use the latest transformer-LLM-based technologies to generate direct answers from search results. Somewhat similar to @elicitorg , @scispace_ , @scite assistant. Two unique things caught my eye. (1)

I assume this is also to help prevent the "clogging effect" caused by so many authors submitting to journals for career advancement. Or at least a nice side effect. Journal seeks to upend scientific publishing by only reviewing—not accepting—manuscripts.
