Choose Your Approach
Manual, AI-Assisted, or Hybrid Screening?
Start with manual screening for full control, or let AI accelerate your process. You can always combine both approaches.
Manual
TraditionalFull reviewer control with blinded screening, consensus building, and audit-ready documentation.
- Complete human oversight
- Blinded screening by default
- Multi-reviewer consensus
- Time: ~40-90 sec per abstract on average
AI-Assisted
SmartLet AI handle initial triage while you focus on borderline cases and final decisions.
- 45x faster initial screening
- Rationale for every decision
- Human review of uncertainties
- Time: ~1-2 sec per abstract on average
Hybrid
RecommendedBest of both worlds: AI efficiency with human expertise where it matters most.
- AI handles obvious cases
- Human review of edge cases
- Audit trail for all decisions
- 5x faster than manual alone

Important Considerations
- •AI screening is designed to assist, not replace, human judgment
- •All AI decisions should be reviewed, especially for systematic reviews requiring high sensitivity
- •The system is trained on published research but may not capture all domain-specific nuances

Robust Guardrails and Human Oversight
AI accelerates screening. Human expertise keeps the review defensible. Scroll through the safeguards that sit between triage and export.
Conservative Thresholds
The AI prefers human review over a silent miss. High-confidence calls can move quickly; everything else stays visible.
Decision policy
Prefer human review over silent miss
Uncertainty Queue
Borderline cases — typically 10–20% of studies — are flagged automatically so your expertise lands where it matters.

Common Questions About AI-Assisted Screening
Get answers to the most common questions about reliability, security, and best practices.
Important Note on AI Reliability
AI performance varies by topic and eligibility criteria, so it should be used as an assistant rather than a replacement for human expertise. Review the preflight sample and uncertain cases, and validate a sample of decisions—especially for high-stakes systematic reviews intended for publication or clinical guidelines.
