Three straight answers
Can I trust the citations?
Litrevu cites only papers in your library, and checks each citation against a passage it read before you see it. Open a citation to read that passage. If your papers don't cover something, it tells you.
Will I get in trouble for using it?
Your institution's AI policy decides, so check it first. Many allow AI as a study aid for reading, searching and summarising your sources, which is what Litrevu is for. Many do not allow AI-written text in work you submit, even after you edit it. Write your own text, and declare how you used AI.

Questions students ask
What is Litrevu, and what can I use it for?
Litrevu is an AI assistant for writing backed by sources. It reads every paper, report and PDF you add, answers your questions with a citation to the exact passage behind each claim, compares sources side by side, and checks your own draft against them. Use it for proposals, theses and literature reviews; reports and policy briefs; evidence summaries; and checking an essay against its sources.
Can Litrevu still get things wrong?
Yes. Litrevu checks that every citation points to a passage in your papers, but not that the passage fully supports the sentence. That is why you can open each cited passage. Read it before you rely on a claim, and treat every answer as a lead to check rather than a fact.
How does Litrevu help with a literature review?
It reads every paper you add, so you can ask what they say, where they agree and where they disagree. It compares papers side by side in a table, checks a paragraph you wrote against your sources, and helps you plan a structure for the review. Every answer cites the passage it came from. It can also draft cited text into a document beside the chat. Many universities do not allow AI-written text in submitted work, even after editing, so check your policy and declare how you used AI.
How do I get my papers in?
Upload PDFs, paste a link to a paper's PDF, its DOI or arXiv link, or paste its text. If you type a topic, Litrevu also finds open-access papers you can pick and add. Litrevu cites only papers in your library and does not search the web. When your papers don't cover a question, it says so, and anything it adds from general knowledge carries no citation.
Which citation styles and file formats does it support?
APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver and IEEE, and you can switch style at any time. Export your document to Word (DOCX) or PDF, and your references to BibTeX or RIS for your reference manager.
Are my papers used to train AI?
No. Your papers, chats and drafts are private to your account: nobody else can see them, and we never sell them or share them with advertisers. To read and answer, Litrevu sends the text of your papers to its AI providers, currently OpenAI and Google, on paid API terms that forbid using your content to train their models. Your PDF files stay in our own cloud storage and are not sent to them. You can remove a paper from your library at any time. To have a stored file deleted as well, email [email protected].
Can it run a systematic review?
Not the method. Litrevu has no screening or PRISMA flow. It helps you read, compare and check papers you have already chosen.
