Rayyan offers a very powerful capability that reduces the time it takes to screen references down to just a few seconds. This capability relies on agentic AI, or AI agents.
What are AI agents?
AI agents use artificial intelligence to autonomously complete tasks. Agents can reason and adapt to complete more complex workflows. Imagine having your own research assistant that follows your instructions carefully and simply reports back the results when they are finished. This is how AI agents behave.
How can AI agents be used in article screening?
Rayyan provides the ability to utilize AI agents to assist review teams with article screening and data extraction. Rayyan’s AI agents assist you with your decisions by analyzing references on your behalf. In addition to analyzing references, the AI agents can behave as a completely independent blinded reviewer completing work much the same as any reviewer on your review team.
How do I incorporate AI agents in my systematic review?
The first step involves writing AI agents into your protocol explaining how they will be used for the purposes of transparency, auditability and reproducibility. The next step is to invite human reviewers to compare the performance of AI agents on a sample set of data. Once there is a high degree of concordance, the next step is to activate the AI agents to instruct them to continue work on the remaining articles. After the agents are completed, the typical process for resolving conflicts should be followed.
How fast can AI agents work?
Rayyan’s AI agents can complete an entire dataset of articles in a matter of minutes. Depending on how large the dataset is and how quickly you need the results, even larger datasets can be completed within 24 hours of initiating the process.
