Long COVID Bot

 

A research assistant for Long COVID, ME/CFS and post-infectious illness. It never clocks out, so asking again tomorrow can already bring newer evidence.

 

What’s in the library

​

  • More than 7,000 curated sources, and the library grows daily. They include trials, reviews, cohort and mechanistic studies, guidance (NICE, WHO, CDC, the 2024 National Academies definition, AAPM&R), FDA/DailyMed drug labels and herb and supplement monographs. Preprints are clearly labelled.

  • Every answer also runs live searches of Elicit, PubMed/Europe PMC, ClinicalTrials.gov and national trial registries. A web search covers very recent studies.

  • Questions the bot answered weakly are reviewed, and new trials, reviews and large studies are added to fill the gaps.

  • The library is checked against Retraction Watch via Crossref in daily slices, so every source is checked weekly. Retracted papers are removed, and papers with an expression of concern are kept and flagged.

  • Claude (Anthropic) audits the library daily. Answers are reviewed weekly and checked automatically after sending. Humans don't check answers before you see them.

​

Source attribution


Answers cite sources by first author and year, so you can find and read the paper yourself. Negative and null trials are included. Untested ideas are labelled as hypotheses. A claim with no citation is unsourced background knowledge.

​

Getting better answers


Ask specific questions.
Instead of: “What treatments help Long COVID?”
Try: “What do randomized trials show about low-dose naltrexone for Long COVID fatigue?”

Privacy


Please don’t enter your name, date of birth, address, insurance details, medical record numbers or other identifying information. Describe your situation in general terms, such as “a 45-year-old with Long COVID.”

 

Your connection is encrypted in transit, and conversations are stored in encrypted storage on Microsoft Azure. Messages are processed by a third-party AI provider to generate responses, and there is no end-to-end encryption. This is not a secure patient communication channel. For private medical matters, contact your healthcare provider directly.

 

Important notice


For education and research only. This assistant does not diagnose or recommend treatment, and it can make mistakes. Talk with your healthcare providers before making medical decisions.
