As AI-enabled tools for systematic literature reviews (SLRs) rapidly multiply, HEOR professionals face growing uncertainty about how to critically assess and differentiate platforms. While many vendors promise faster, cheaper, and more accurate reviews, recent comparative research highlights significant variability in performance, particularly beyond abstract screening. This session brings together leading vendors for a moderated, non-promotional discussion focused on transparency, methodological rigor, and real-world utility. Panelists will each respond to a common set of structured questions, covering core capabilities, evidence traceability, human-AI integration, and regulatory readiness. Drawing on a recent multi-tool evaluation study, the session will highlight gaps in standardization and the importance of stakeholder-informed procurement. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to evaluate AI SLR tools and understand which features best align with their research, compliance, or access needs. Each presenter is expected to briefly describe their tool’s unique contribution, share specific use cases, and respond to comparative prompts in a roundtable format. No product demos or sales pitches—just evidence-based insights to cut through the noise.
