AI agents
Yila
Yila is a research agent for literature work. Give it a research question or a folder of papers and it reads the PDFs, compares methods and findings across them, and drafts a literature review in which every sentence is linked to the passage that supports it. It also pulls figures and tables out of PDFs and turns a set of papers into an editable slide deck for a lab meeting, seminar or thesis defense. Typical users are graduate students, academic researchers and analysts who need output they can verify quickly rather than text they have to fact-check from scratch.
