In short
A literature review means reading dozens of studies, comparing their methods and citing every result accurately. Verbatim’s agents read every study in full and tie every figure to the study it comes from. They compare methods, monitor new publications in the journals and draft the literature review, the synthesis and the bibliography. VerbatimAgent works the same day, from €49.95 a month, VAT included.
Chatbots predict the most likely next word, and they sometimes invent a study or a figure. Verbatim runs on a proprietary algorithm that ties every fact to the exact excerpt it comes from. Built for journalism first, Verbatim applies the same rule to studies.
Every study, read in full
The Research agent searches the web, search engines and the databases you name. It reads every study it finds from start to finish, methods and appendices included, and keeps the excerpts that matter. You add your own PDFs, notes and recordings. The Reading agent answers your questions with the exact page.
Methods, compared
For each study, the agents record the question, the method, the sample, the period and the results. They set the studies side by side in a table, with each cell linked to its excerpt. When two studies contradict each other, Verbatim shows you the disagreement and the differences in method.
Every figure tied to its study
Every figure in the review points to the study and the page it comes from. The Checking agent checks every sentence against its sources and gives each claim a status: Supported, Contradicted, Not found or Checking. Verbatim rejects any claim it cannot trace to a source. An analysis, an opinion or a figure of speech never receives a fact status.
Journals, monitored
The Monitoring agent follows journals, preprints and the sources you add, day and night. It tells you when a new study bears on your question, with the excerpt that proves it. A corrected or retracted study is flagged in your project. The People agent finds the authors who publish on your question and maps who has published with whom.
Literature review, synthesis, bibliography
The Research project type offers three drafts: the literature review, the synthesis and the bibliography. The synthesis lists the findings, each with its source. The bibliography is built from the documents in the project, with the pages cited. The style engine, developed with linguists, writes in your style, learned from your publications.

Questions
Can Verbatim invent a reference?
No. Every reference points to a document the agents have read, with the exact page. The Checking agent checks that each source says what the draft attributes to it.
Which languages does it work in?
Verbatim reads, transcribes and translates documents and recordings in most languages. It writes in the language you choose.
What happens to my research data?
It remains yours. It is hosted and processed in Europe and is never used to train third-party AI.
