Using the AI Research Assistant

Click Start New Chat to begin a conversation with the AI assistant. The AI can:
  • Generate draft sections — “Write the Results section based on my screening data and extraction tables”
  • Access project data — It can query your papers, screening decisions, extractions, and quality assessments
  • Run statistical summaries — “How many papers were included at each stage?”
  • Generate tables — “Create a characteristics of included studies table”
  • Insert citations — Automatically references your included papers
  • Refine prose — “Make this paragraph more concise” or “Rewrite in passive voice”

​
Multi-Session Support

You can have multiple independent chat sessions. Select from the dropdown at the top right:
  • New — Start a fresh conversation
  • Select a chat — Resume a previous conversation

​
Export Options

The AI remembers your full conversation within a session. You can iteratively refine a section across multiple messages — “Add more detail about the heterogeneity” or “Move the limitations paragraph to the end.”
