Natural Language Project Init

Start Research Projects with Plain Language

Diverga auto-detects your research intent from natural language input and generates a complete project structure with documentation. No commands to memorize. Introduced in v8.0.

Auto-Detection

Just describe what you want to research. Diverga identifies the research type:

systematic_review

Systematic Review

"I want to conduct a systematic review on..."

meta_analysis

Meta-Analysis

"Analyze effect sizes across studies about..."

literature_review

Literature Review

"What does the literature say about..."

experimental

Experimental

"I want to test whether X causes Y..."

qualitative

Qualitative

mixed_methods

Mixed Methods

"Both quantify and understand why..."

Bilingual Support

Works equally well in English and Korean:

"AI 챗봇이 학생들의 언어 학습에 어떻게 도움이 되는지 연구하고 싶어요"

Auto-Generated Documentation

Every project starts with 7 documentation files:
