Review of a thesis, article or book with AI
A review (рецензия) is a reasoned evaluation of a work. In universities, an external reviewer writes one for each diploma or master's thesis before the defence, and journals ask experts to review submitted articles.
Teachers, reviewers and supervisors use this type, and pupils and students also write literary or film reviews as assignments.

Length and format
A formal review of a student work or a supervisor's reference is usually 1.5–3 pages, a journal peer review 1–2 pages, and a literary or film review about 600–1,200 words.
The typical layout is A4, Times New Roman 14 pt with 1.5 spacing, which may be single to fit a formal review on two pages.

Questions and answers
Does the AI agent need the work itself?
Yes, for a meaningful review. Without it, you get a template with placeholders and example wording marked as examples.
Can it write a supervisor's reference?
Yes. Ask for a supervisor's reference and it focuses on the student's work process, independence and qualities.
Will it invent shortcomings?
No. Remarks must be supported by the work's content and stay consistent with the overall assessment.
Who is responsible for the review?
The reviewer. The draft helps you organise your evaluation, but the final judgment and signature are yours.
Attach the work and choose the review type to get a structured draft based on its actual content.
The AI agent prepares a draft that you review, edit and finalize yourself; exact requirements depend on your school, university or teacher.
