I think its scope is narrower than a lit review assistant. I use it mainly for finding papers that I or my RAs might have missed in our lit review.

I have a recent example where it helped me locate a highly relevant paper for my research. It was from an obscure journal and wouldn't show up in the first few pages of Google Scholar search. The paper was real and recently published.

However, using LLMs for doing lit review has been fraught with peril. LLMs often misinterpret the research findings or extrapolate them to make incorrect inferences.
