NERD-BURGER
Real-time health research, explained in plain English — a literature search engine for humans that surfaces the top-tier systematic reviews, meta-analyses and RCTs that already exist. Your question is routed to the right clinical specialty, the literature is retrieved live, every study is graded against the CEBM hierarchy of evidence, and the findings are laid out with every claim linked to its source paper. We present the data. We don't invent, advise, or make claims.
Straight up: Nerd Burger is real-time evidence retrieval — a rapid evidence summary, not a full Cochrane systematic review (that takes 6–18 months and two human reviewers). If you need an SR-grade answer, the nerds hand you the search strategy + RIS file to take into Covidence, Rayyan or RevMan.
Real-time evidence retrieval, ranked by the CEBM hierarchy of evidence · 25 specialist AI agents · 119 evidence sources · 140 trusted reference sites · PRISMA-style rapid evidence summary · citation validation · zero scraping of licensed content
How the brain actually works →Plain English
Not medical jargon. Y8 reading level. Actual sentences that end in full stops.
Every answer cited
Click any study. Read it yourself. We don't hide behind "a study said."
Honest when we don't know
No fake confidence. If the evidence is weak we say so — out loud, in the answer.
Red flags flagged
The nerds will tell you when to stop reading and go see an actual doctor.
Meet the 24 Sliders
Each Slider is its own AI agent — specialty-prompted, scoped to its ICD-11 range, anchored to its MeSH tree roots, and runs an independent parallel fan-out across the literature. Compound questions activate multiple Sliders at once.

🔬 How we do it
A Nerd Burger with twenty-four Sliders — that's the joke. Underneath: one coordinator AI 🧠 orchestrating twenty-four specialist agents, each trained in one clinical area (cardiovascular, respiratory, mental health, women's health, paediatrics, and so on).
Ask a question — the Nerd Burger picks the right Sliders, they deep-dive the literature 📚 in parallel, and every study is graded against the hierarchy of evidence (systematic reviews and meta-analyses at the top, expert opinion at the bottom). You get a complete plain-English answer with every claim linked to a real paper ✅.
The same scientific method a research librarian uses to start a literature search — in thirty seconds ⚡ instead of half a day. We retrieve the top-tier systematic reviews and RCTs that already exist; we do NOT conduct a new systematic review 🩺 — if you need that full dual-reviewer SR workflow, we hand you the search strategy to escalate into Covidence, Rayyan or RevMan.
🎯 Three ways to use it
Our aim: make clinical evidence searchable — so the data, not the noise, shapes health conversations.
Via MCP
Nerd Burger runs a Model Context Protocol server. Add it as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor — any MCP-compatible AI. When your assistant is asked a health question, Nerd Burger runs the actual literature search and returns graded evidence — so the AI quotes the data, not its training set.
MCP endpoint →Via API
Nerd Burger exposes a bearer-authenticated HTTPS API. Your patient-management software, EMR, or internal clinical tool can call it directly — the structured, cited, evidence-graded output streams back into the interface you already use.

Open nerdburger.ai or picosearch.ai. Type a question. Read the structured answer with every claim linked to the source paper. Two front doors, same brain: nerdburger.ai renders the output in plain English; picosearch.ai renders it as a PRISMA-style rapid evidence summary. Neither is a systematic review.
↑ Try the search aboveNerdBurger is not medical advice. It is real-time evidence retrieval that surfaces the existing systematic reviews, meta-analyses and RCTs for your question in plain English. We read research and explain it — we do NOT write a new systematic review (that takes 6–18 months with dual reviewers). We don't know your history, your meds, your allergies, your context — a real clinician does. If anything here sounds like it matters for you, take it to someone who knows you.
