# RapidReview docs

> Documentation for Merv, the research-workflow plugin for coding agents, and Nisa, the arXiv paper map, research agent, and CLI.

RapidReview is two products on one account. **Merv** turns your coding agent into a research agent whose plans and results pass review before they enter the record. **Nisa** is a map of 500,000+ arXiv machine-learning papers with a research agent over it, in the browser and in your terminal.
