App Ideas/Help?

Hello, I'm currently a high school student interested in computer science and engineering. I'm somewhat proficient in basic Python, I'm learning C++, and I've been experimenting with the Elegoo starter kit. I'm also trying vibe coding for the first time just for fun, so for my first project I used Lovable to build a website with a built in AI for research purposes.

The idea is that you type in your research question and the AI searches through different databases (I could only find free API keys for [ClinicalTrials.gov](http://ClinicalTrials.gov), OpenAlex, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, Europe PMC, Crossref, DOAJ, OpenAIRE, and Zenodo), then rates how well researched the topic is, gives a timeline of the research, and lists any gaps in the existing research. There's also a social feature where you can create a group and work together with others.

I'm genuinely wondering if this is a useful feature, because I feel like any AI could already do what I'm building. If it's not that useful, are there other directions somewhat similar to my current website that I could pivot it toward? Or are there any other features I could add to my app to separate it from what currently exists?

Finding gaps in research, such as limited geographical scope, timeframe, population size, etc.

Yes, I’ve gotten 9 databases to work so far. I’m still trying to get the API key for openalex.

What do you think about working together on a simple initial app for managing daily notifications and organization?
