| Human decisions | Human reviewers label records while the model continuously updates the ranking. | AI outputs remain suggestions, while final Include, Exclude or Maybe decisions require a human reviewer. |

| Purpose | ASReview uses AI-aided active learning to prioritize records for systematic review screening while keeping a human screener in the decision loop. | Universal SLR Assistant supports systematic and scoping review workflows with AI-assisted screening, extraction, and reproducible outputs. |
