Martin C. Weiss (retweeted by Hugo Larochelle) shares his personal AI-assisted literature review workflow:
- Maintains a reading list on Lacuna, updated via Claude + Althea MCP
- Follows citation rabbit holes, discusses papers with Althea, and lets it take notes
- At writing time, edits a document while discussing his notes with Althea, then ships the result to Overleaf
- He also recorded a demo video; reviewing papers for ICLR, he notes, is a separate workflow
