Our verdict

Dewey uses the Exa API to surface academic papers similar in topic, methodology or results, then lets researchers narrow results by keyword, year or citation count. A visual dashboard turns those connections into citation graphs and thematic clusters that are easier to scan than a plain list. Algorithmic matching occasionally throws in irrelevant results and can pass over less-cited but still valuable papers, so a literature review built entirely on it needs a manual check.
