Synthesis is the shareable, living review output, all viewable by anyone you grant access to, with or without an AutoLit account of their own. As your nest keeps changing. more studies screened, more data extracted, Synthesis updates with it. This section splits into two parts: * [Set up Synthesis Outputs](/review-workflow/synthesis/set-up-synthesis-outputs.md) — for reviewers building or curating outputs. * [Navigate Synthesis Outputs](/review-workflow/synthesis/navigate-synthesis-outputs.md) — for viewers reading and exploring what's already there. ### Tools Available Below is a summary of the Synthesis AI tools offered and what they do. | Tool | Generates | Built from | Where it appears | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | [**Smart Abstract**](/review-workflow/synthesis/set-up-synthesis-outputs/abstract-editor/smart-abstract.md) | A structured Methods / Results / Discussion abstract | Your searches, screening, tags, critical appraisal, and Smart Insights | Abstract Editor | | [**Smart Insights**](/review-workflow/synthesis/set-up-synthesis-outputs/smart-insights.md) | Evidence-linked written summaries (Insight, Claims, Evidence) at scale | Apply-question tags applied to 2+ studies | Dashboard cards, or a Word export | | [**Synthesis Chat**](/review-workflow/synthesis/navigate-synthesis-outputs/synthesis-chat.md) | Plain-English, cited answers, plus on-demand methods/results/abstract drafts, tables, and documents | Only the data already in this review — no outside sources | Its own Chat tab, private per person | ### Next Steps

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.nested-knowledge.com/review-workflow/synthesis.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
