Built only from your papers
VIRAT writes from the papers in your context tray, not from memory, so every citation is real.
Literature review assistant
Choose the papers you want to build on and VIRAT drafts themed review sections from them, points out where studies disagree or leave gaps, and keeps every statement tied to a numbered citation you can open.
Find gaps
See where studies agree, disagree and what nobody has looked at yet.
Draft and edit
Add answers to your draft, review it for editor-style feedback, and download it as Word.
Plan your writing
Outline articles, reviews and chapters, with notes where each point still needs a source.

Questions
Will it make up references?
No. VIRAT cites only the papers you added, by number, and each number links to the paper.
Can I use the text as it is?
Treat it as a first draft: check it against the papers, write it in your own voice, and follow your institution's rules on AI use.
