Ai4RD is an AI assistant for rare diseases. It helps clinicians think through which conditions might fit, and helps patients put what they’re going through in order. It cites its sources wherever it can. The diagnosis always stays with a clinician.
In Doctor mode, every full answer has the same shape: a short summary of the pattern, then three to five conditions to consider, ordered by how well the evidence fits. For each one, it says what argues against it, and what new evidence would change the picture.
The clinician makes the call. Ai4RD offers possibilities, not conclusions. It says things like fits, argues against and would raise concern for — never rule in or rule out.
When a question is about a specific case, Ai4RD searches named sources: medical research, rare-disease databases, and guides written for patients. These searches stay inside those sites:
There is also a general web search, for questions those databases don’t cover. It isn’t limited to a list of sites. Ai4RD is told to use only trusted clinical and scientific sources there too, but that is an instruction, not a hard limit — so read those results as you would any web result. The Sources list always shows where a claim came from.
Every full answer ends with that list, so a clinician can check the reasoning against the research. If a search finds nothing, Ai4RD says so instead of inventing a reference.
Every full answer has the same parts: the clinical question, the reasoning, the conditions to consider, what evidence is missing, and what to ask next. Its answers draw on search. It never diagnoses or prescribes. It thinks alongside you, and you decide.
It listens first and explains things in everyday words. It can help you put together a timeline, a list of symptoms, or questions for your doctor. It never puts a disease name to your symptoms, and it leaves anything important to your own healthcare professional.

When the service is down
it goes quiet
Ai4RD does not diagnose. It does not prescribe. It does not store conversations server-side. It is a research preview that goes quiet when the upstream service is unavailable, rather than guessing.
Ai4RD is not a medical device. It is not FDA-cleared, CE-marked, or registered with any regulator, and it makes no diagnostic claim that would require clearance. It is not a HIPAA-covered service — do not enter protected health information. It supports a clinician’s own reasoning and is never a substitute for clinical judgment.
