How to Use AI Research Gap Finder?

Zuletzt aktualisiert: 2026-03-11·2 min read

The Nubint AI Research Gap Finder agent analyzes areas that haven't been
sufficiently covered in existing research across four gap types, helping you
identify differentiated research directions.

When should you use the Research Gap Finder agent?

Use it when you've chosen a research topic but don't know how to differentiate from existing research, or when you want to systematically identify unexplored areas after a literature review.


What are the four research gap types?

  • Theoretical gap — Areas not explained by existing theories
  • Methodological gap — Areas where new research methods are needed that haven't been used in existing studies
  • Empirical gap — Areas not yet verified by experiments or data
  • Application gap — Areas where research findings haven't been applied in practice

Each gap type includes an assessment of its importance and research potential.


How to use the Research Gap Finder agent

Step 1. Open the AI Chat, select the Agents tab, and launch the Research Gap Finder agent.

Step 2. Enter the research field or topic you want to analyze.

Step 3. The agent analyzes existing research to identify four types of gaps and provides a report with each gap's importance and research potential.

Step 4. Use the identified gaps to continue with the Methodology Advisor or Hypothesis Generator agent.


Can you analyze gaps based on papers in your library?

Yes. You can analyze gaps based on papers saved in your library.
