# How to Discover Recent Studies with ChatGPT

ChatGPT identifies emerging trends across recent publications and presents them as a coherent narrative. It explains what is new about each finding, how it builds on prior work, and why it matters for the field. Staying current becomes a briefing rather than a stack of unread papers.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Find the latest papers on mRNA vaccine technology"
3. ChatGPT returns recent publications with summaries
4. Request: "What are the emerging trends across these papers?"
5. Explore promising new directions

## Example Prompt

```
What new research on autonomous driving has been published recently? I want to see what problems researchers are focusing on now.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can identify emerging trends across recent publications
- Ask for papers from specific venues like NeurIPS or Nature
- Compare recent findings with older established results
