Elicit is a superb AI research assistant for searching the literature and pulling data from papers across a huge index. Revio is a systematic-review workspace: it adds the dual-reviewer screening, risk-of-bias appraisal, PRISMA reporting, meta-analysis, and manuscript output a formal review needs — and it verifies every AI quote against the source.

For fast, broad literature discovery, scoping a new topic, or pulling data from many papers across a very large index, Elicit is excellent and hard to beat. If you are not producing a formal PRISMA systematic review, its speed and search breadth may be all you need.
A systematic review is more than search and extraction. Revio adds the parts Elicit does not: two independent reviewers with a computed agreement statistic, RoB 2 and JBI appraisal, an auto-filling PRISMA diagram, a built-in meta-analysis, and a manuscript you can submit. And every quote it keeps is checked character-by-character against your PDF, with a named, timestamped human approval on each answer — so your methods section can honestly state that all AI output was human-verified.
