Basic vs Enhanced

Choose the Right Analysis for Your Research Needs

At Research Guru, we know that not all research tasks require the same depth of insight. That’s why we offer two analysis modes — Basic and Enhanced — to help you get exactly what you need, when you need it.

Whether you’re skimming for relevance or diving deep into critical synthesis, we’ve got you covered.

Start with 5 free tokens.

Basic Mode: Fast, Focused, Efficient

Ideal for quick scans, idea mapping, or building a reading list.

What it includes:

  • Key themes and topics
  • Summary of main arguments
  • Author background and publication metadata
  • Top-level relevance indicators

Best for:

  • Screening papers for relevance
  • Creating reading summaries
  • Early-stage literature review

Why choose Basic?

Quick insights with minimal tokens. Great for when you're processing high volume and need fast orientation.

Enhanced Mode: Deep, Structured, Scholarly

Perfect for when you need to really understand a paper — and place it in context.

What it includes:

  • Everything in Basic, plus:
  • Structured breakdown of arguments, counterarguments, and supporting evidence
  • Identification of research gaps and future directions
  • Insights into bias, assumptions, and methodological nuance

Best for:

  • Advanced literature review and synthesis
  • Dissertation and thesis research
  • Constructing arguments or identifying research gaps
  • Preparing academic presentations or publication drafts

Why choose Enhanced?

It saves hours of manual reading and annotation — and often reveals patterns or tensions that are easy to miss. Researchers tell us it feels like having an AI-powered research assistant who already knows what matters most.
