Autopilot Mode
Start a research question and let BioSkepsis handle the rest. Autopilot automatically selects search queries, filters results for relevance, adds the strongest papers to your Sources, and generates your first follow-up analysis — all in one step.
What Autopilot Does
When you enable Autopilot, BioSkepsis automates the multi-step research workflow:
- Query selection: AI automatically selects the most promising search queries from the generated suggestions
- Relevance filtering: Retrieved papers are automatically screened for relevance to your research question
- Source building: The strongest papers are added to your Sources panel for full-text analysis
- First analysis: An initial follow-up analysis is generated, synthesizing findings from the selected papers
When to Use Autopilot
- Quick exploration: When you want a rapid overview of a topic without manually curating each step
- New fields: When entering an unfamiliar research area and you want the AI to guide initial paper selection
- Time-constrained research: When you need a literature-grounded answer quickly
- Starting point: Use Autopilot for the initial pass, then manually refine the Sources and ask more targeted follow-ups
Autopilot vs. Manual Workflow
Both approaches have their strengths:
- Autopilot: Faster, hands-off, good for broad exploration and quick answers
- Manual: More control over query selection, paper curation, and analysis direction — ideal for deep, targeted research
Availability
Autopilot Mode is available on all plans, including Basic. It uses your plan's allocated follow-up questions and paper limits.
