Overview
Professors spend over 1,200 hours a year on repetitive academic tasks - searching papers, reviewing manuscripts, and writing feedback for students.Veritus changes that by automating these workflows while keeping full data control and source traceability. Across Kyushu University, IIT Hyderabad, and DGIST Korea, professors use Veritus to run literature reviews, understand dense papers, and benchmark manuscripts up to 5X faster.
The Challenge
Academic R&D faces four major bottlenecks:- Manual paper discovery: Hours spent on databases, with inconsistent relevance.
- Fragmented workflows: Different tools for search, annotation, and feedback.
- Review overload: Supervisors providing manuscript feedback without structured help.
- Data concerns: Fear of sharing confidential manuscripts with generic AI tools.
“Students have tools for everything. Professors have none.”\
- A professor at IIT Roorkee (early Veritus collaborator)
The Solution
Veritus provides an integrated, audit-ready workspace for research:- Paper Search finds the top 100 papers on any topic in under a minute.
- Paper Insights explains dense studies and answers source-linked questions.
- Manuscript Assistant reviews drafts, checks rigor, and compares with top literature.
- Sharing Reports allows professors to send secure, view-only feedback to students.
Results
