prismAId
Open Science AI Tools for Systematic, Protocol-Based Literature Reviews
prismAId offers a suite of tools using generative AI models to streamline systematic reviews of scientific literature.
It provides simple-to-use, efficient, and replicable methods for screening and analyzing research papers with no coding skills required.
Toolkit Overview
prismAId offers a comprehensive set of tools for systematic literature reviews:
Core Tools
- Screening - Filter and tag manuscripts to identify items for exclusion
- Download - Download papers from Zotero collections or from URL lists
- Convert - Convert files (PDF, DOCX, HTML) to plain text for analysis
- Review - Process systematic literature reviews based on TOML configurations
- RevAIse documentation support - Optionally document review stages as RevAIse review records
Workflow
Our tools support a comprehensive systematic review workflow following the standard sequence: Search → Screen → Download → Convert → Review. RevAIse support can document Zotero download, screening, and review/extraction stages in one cumulative review record.
Access Methods
- AI agents via the MCP server - A main entry point: connect an AI assistant to the prismAId MCP server and drive every tool in conversation
- Command Line Interface - For users who prefer terminal-based workflows
- Web Initializer - A browser-based setup tool for configuring reviews
- Programming Libraries - API access through multiple languages:
- Go (native implementation)
- Python package
- R package
- Julia package
Specifications
- Review protocol: Supports any literature review protocol with a preference for PRISMA 2020, which inspired our project name.
- Review documentation: Optional RevAIse review-record support with cumulative updates and automatic backups; see the RevAIse integration guide.
- Protocol conformance: Check RevAIse review records against reporting protocols such as PRISMA 2020, and get a protocol's full requirement checklist, using the SHACL shapes published by RevAIse; see the conformance and guidance docs.
