This automates literature reviews by having Firecrawl scrape research papers, whitepapers, and technical reports from arXiv, university sites, company blogs, and industry sources. It can pull content directly from PDFs, then synthesizes findings into a structured markdown report with themes, debates, and cited sources. The workflow spins up parallel sub-agents to research academic papers, industry reports, and technical articles simultaneously. Worth noting it distinguishes between peer-reviewed work and vendor content, and flags inaccessible PDFs. Good for when you need a sourced overview of a research area without manually tracking down and reading dozens of papers yourself.
