An AI academic writing assistant that drafts with real, verified sources baked in from the start — zero hallucinated citations.
What is Veru?
Every day, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude generate millions of academic citations — many of which are completely fabricated. Plausible-sounding paper titles, realistic author names, real journal names, wrong years. Hallucinations that are almost impossible to spot without verification.
Veru was built to fix that. Paste any block of text with citations and we verify each one against OpenAlex, a database of 250 million+ real academic papers. We surface what's real, what's fake, and what's a mismatch — in seconds.
It's free. No account required. Works in English and Chinese.

Our mission
AI is making it easier than ever to produce text that looks scholarly — complete with authors, journals, and DOIs that don't exist. We believe researchers shouldn't have to choose between the productivity benefits of AI and the integrity of their work.
Veru exists to keep AI and academic honesty on the same side of the table. Every tool we build starts from a simple question: how do we make AI-generated academic content something you can actually stake your reputation on?
