Screen Thousands of Papers
10x Faster
with AI
What is Lumina?
Lumina is a web application for researchers conducting systematic literature reviews. Instead of manually screening thousands of papers (which can take 40+ hours), Lumina's AI learns your inclusion criteria and ranks papers by relevance—so you focus on what matters.
Without Lumina
- • Screen 5,000 titles/abstracts manually
- • Takes 40+ hours of tedious work
- • Risk missing relevant studies
- • No prioritization—screen everything
With Lumina
- • AI ranks papers by relevance
- • Screen the top 20% to find 95% of relevant studies
- • Finish in hours, not weeks
- • Pixel-Bot summarizes each paper
