How is Lune different from a normal AI search engine?

Lune scopes its corpus to peer-reviewed papers from A/A* venues — no open-web pages, workshop papers, tutorials, abstracts or demos. That means results come with a verifiable source, which reduces the risk of an agent inventing citations.

Do I need Claude or ChatGPT to use Lune?

It is designed first as a connector for AI agents, including Claude and ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible clients. You install Lune and your agent can call its search, full-text retrieval and guidance tools while it works. There is also a CLI and web dashboard, and most people pair Lune with their existing assistant rather than using it standalone.

Which conferences and papers are covered?

Lune indexes A/A* computer science conferences, with coverage that varies by venue but reaches the mid-2020s for most major security, systems, machine learning, HCI and theory conferences. It also includes talks, interviews and notes from influential researchers.

What do you get on the paid plans?

Full-text semantic search in plain language, citation tracing in both directions, evidence-grounded answers with source quotes, a research best-practices library covering topics like novelty and expected baselines, a talent database with publication records, and venue listings. Pricing is freemium, with a free entry point and paid plans for heavier agent use — check the site for current tiers.

À propos de Lune

Full-text semantic search

Ask in plain language and Lune searches the full text of papers from top-tier venues all at once, rather than matching keywords against titles and abstracts.

Citation tracing

See what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, so you can place a result in its research lineage instead of treating it as an isolated claim.

Agent connector and MCP server

Lune connects to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-capable clients, so your agent can pull real paper text and best-practice guidance mid-task.

Research best-practices library

Battle-tested guidance on novelty checks, baselines, ablations and reviewer expectations is surfaced at the moment it is relevant, not buried in a wiki.

Researcher talent database

Search leading computer scientists by research area, school or name, and check publication track records with contact details for outreach.

Lune is a research layer you plug into an AI agent via a connector or MCP. It searches the full text of A/A* computer science papers, traces citations both directions, and returns answers that cite the exact source text instead of open-web noise. It also ships research best-practice playbooks and a searchable database of top-tier researcher profiles.

Cas d'usage à fort impact pour Lune

Graduate student

Map a new research area

Start with a plain-language question, pull the foundational papers, read their claims in their own words, and trace citations forward and backward to map the state of a field.

PhD researcher

Pressure-test a research idea

Run a proposed idea past prior work, get a straight answer on how novel it really is, and find the concrete gap that is still open.

Lab researcher

Design a defensible experiment

Get the baselines, ablations and controls reviewers expect for your method, so the paper does not get desk-rejected for a predictable omission.

Applied AI engineer

Ground an internal agent in real literature

Connect Lune to your coding or writing agent so every literature claim it makes comes back with a citation checked against the source text.
