What they did
The agent generates questions in PICO format and screening criteria for the researcher to review, asks for databases and time period, searches for papers, screens by title and abstract, reads the full texts, extracts data and writes the review with a PRISMA diagram.

Mushtaq Bilal highlights the potential, and the limit: paywalled articles.
Good to know
A systematic review has a method; treat the result as a draft and audit the screening.
