A regular scan for new papers and patents in your area, distilled to the ones worth your reading time.
Staying current in a field means journal alerts, preprint feeds, and conference programs -- a second inbox that publishes faster than anyone can read.
So most people fall behind quietly and catch up in panic when a reviewer, competitor, or boss cites the paper they missed.
On schedule, this routine scans for new papers and patents in your field and distills them to the few worth real attention, with a line on why each matters.
You stay citation-current in minutes a week, and the panic-catchup session quietly disappears.

Chat skills wait for you. Routines do not.
With a Claude or ChatGPT skill, you are the integration: copy the email, paste the calendar, explain the background, then carry the answer back out.
Littlebird skips the middleman. It reads the sources directly, runs on your schedule, and your data is never sold or used to train a model.
From your reading and research context, plus the topics you name in the prompt. Narrow beats beat broad ones.
It gives the gist and why it matters to you, so you only open the PDFs that earn it.
It stays yours. Never sold, never used for model training, under SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned controls.
Yes -- Littlebird is SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned, and it never sells your data or trains models on it.
