This paper presents SLRMentor, a conversational assistant designed to support both learning about the systematic literature review process and the execution of planning activities in software engineering. The tool offers general guidance on SLR methodology and supports key planning tasks, including search string construction and reasoning about inclusion and exclusion criteria, with explanations grounded in established SLR guidelines. A pilot validation with graduate students suggests that SLRMentor helps clarify the SLR process and planning decisions, lowers initial barriers for novice researchers, and supports learning while still requiring active methodological judgment.
