Pass a topic query (resolves to the top relevance hit) or an arXiv ID (search stage skipped); the structured LLM summary (TLDR, key findings, methods, limitations) and the BibTeX entry are generated in parallel. Public arXiv API. Use it as an arXiv paper digest, research paper summary, or search-summarize-cite bundle.
