Literature review agent

The brief

Scientists spend days reading abstracts before a project meeting. Build an agent that searches PubMed on a drug target, reads the abstracts, extracts key findings into a table, and drafts a short review where every claim cites a paper, for a scientist to check. Good looks like: search and fetch tools, a findings table, a check that every claim is supported by its cited abstract, and the scientist's review step.

What you will build

1. Build tools for PubMed search and abstract fetch
2. Build the agent with LangGraph: search, read, extract, draft
3. Extract findings into a structured table
4. Check every claim against its cited abstract
5. Evaluate on three targets with a scientist
6. Measure cost and time per review
