Triggers on mentions of any supported database or requests like “find papers on X”, “look up this DOI”, “who cites this paper”, or “get me the PDF”.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “who cites 10.1038/nature12373? need the list”
- “I’m writing the methods for a paper on SARS-CoV-2 spike mutations and need the open-access full text of PMID 34567890 so I can check which variants they sequenced. Pull the PDF if there is one, otherwise the XML body. NCBI eFetch gave me a 200 but the article has no body section. What’s going on?”
- “Our lab is putting together a table of everything our collaborators at the University of Tartu have deposited as datasets or software, plus a stable ID for the institution so we can link their works. Can you track that down?”
