4 Simple Steps to Write Your Medical Review

From searching papers to downloading the final draft. Click any step to learn more.


  • Type your clinical topic in English or any other language you prefer. The AI automatically searches international databases and writes in your language.

  • Pick a date range (past few months to 20 years) and choose your databases (PubMed or PubMed + Europe PMC).

  • Retrieve up to 80 candidate articles per session.


  • Browse article titles and abstracts, and check the papers you want to keep.

  • Search multiple topics to combine relevant papers into a single pool.

  • Upload your own PDF or Word files to include internal studies or private documents.


  • Add specific notes (like focusing on side effects or patient groups), upload a journal style guide, or even provide an AI Skill.md file for custom writing instructions.

  • Choose your target word count between 500 and 8,000 words (defaults to 3,000 words).

  • Drafting takes ~10–15 minutes. You can watch live or close the tab—it auto-saves to File History.


  • Edit text directly or ask the AI to polish paragraphs and tone with before/after diff previews.

  • Revisions auto-save as timestamped versions so you never lose your work.

  • Export as a cleanly formatted Word (.docx) or Markdown file, with tables and citations in place.

FAQ & Quick Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

Key answers regarding limits, background synthesis, language support, and document safety.

Literature searches take 2–5 minutes, while deep review generation typically takes 10–15 minutes due to multi-pass citation verification and structured table synthesis. Keeping the tab open allows you to follow real-time progress, but it is entirely optional. Generation executes safely on the server and automatically archives to "History > File History" where you can view and download it at any time.

Each session accommodates up to 80 candidate articles. You can search PubMed alone for focused NCBI biomedical literature, or include Europe PMC and medical authorities for broader coverage. You can also perform multiple searches for different topics and accumulate them into a single deduplicated candidate pool up to the 80-article limit.

Yes. You can upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, or image files. Our backend summarizer extracts structured metadata and abstracts to incorporate them directly into the review synthesis. User-uploaded files are classified as supplementary evidence and are exempt from database publication date cutoffs.

Yes. The agent automatically detects and preserves your topic language. While database queries are translated into English for comprehensive international retrieval, conversational responses and the entire generated review (abstract, sections, comparison tables, and conclusions) are written in your preferred language. Reference entries preserve original publication details.

Once generation finishes, click "Edit generated review" directly inside the writer or navigate to "File History > Editing drafts". This launches the dedicated dual-pane Medical Review Editor, where you can converse with an AI copilot, review side-by-side diff revision suggestions, manage versioned drafts, and export clean Word (.docx) or Markdown files.

No. The tool is designed for academic literature review drafting, evidence synthesis, and research acceleration. Healthcare professionals must independently verify all citations, data, and clinical interpretations before publication or clinical application.
