What it is and how it works
What is Rassvet?
Rassvet is an AI library for practicing psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals. The system searches across 5,000+ books and returns precise fragments with the author, book title, and page number.
Who is the service for?
For practicing professionals: psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and supervisors. It's not a mass-market product — it's a tool for professionals.
How does the search work — is it a chatbot or a book search?
It's a semantic search over a closed library of books, not a free-form chatbot. You ask a question in your own words, the system finds relevant fragments specifically from the books and builds a structured answer from them — without inventing anything beyond the library.
Do I need to phrase special queries?
No. You can ask in ordinary human language, like talking to a colleague — no special prompts needed.
Can I have a dialogue and refine my question?
Yes, there's dialogue memory — when you ask a follow-up question, the system takes previously found fragments into account.
Does it work like supervision/peer consultation?
Rassvet has a separate supervision mode, where the system asks clarifying questions and helps you prepare to discuss a case. It's a preparation aid, not a replacement for actual supervision.
What happens if the answer simply isn't in the database?
The system says so directly — it doesn't guess or provide an approximate answer instead of an honest "not found."
Can I use the service during a session with a client?
Technically yes — you can ask a question during a session and get an answer. But keep in mind: the system takes time to search for fragments and compose a detailed answer, it's not an instant response. Rassvet isn't designed for real-time synchronous dialogue while a client waits — rather, it's more useful for preparing for the next session or during a break between sessions, when you can calmly read the answer, look at the situation from different professional angles, and choose a technique or protocol.
Can I save fragments I like and my query history?
Yes, there are saved fragments and chat history — you can return to them anytime.
Can Rassvet be used to prepare lectures, articles, and supervision sessions?
Yes, this is one of its natural uses — quickly selecting sources, techniques, and protocols for preparing materials.
Can a student (not yet a practicing professional) use Rassvet?
Yes — the service is especially helpful in the early stage of practice, when it's important to quickly find verified sources and rely on them in coursework and first cases.
Accuracy and sources
Where do the books in the library come from?
The library is built from open academic sources (such as OpenStax, Archive.org) and professional literature. Rassvet operates on the principle of fair use for scholarly and professional purposes: the service doesn't let you download an entire book, but shows a short, precise fragment with the author and page — so a professional can verify the source themselves.
What if a rights holder believes material is being used improperly?
You can write to admin@rassvet-ai.com — we'll review the request promptly.
How is citation accuracy verified?
Every citation has a clickable page number that opens the actual book fragment. You can compare it against the original right away.
Can the system invent a citation or author?
No. The library is closed — the system only answers with what's actually in the loaded books, without speculation.
How often is the library updated?
The library grows daily, new books are added continuously.
Can I suggest a book to be added to the library?
Yes, you can and should — write to admin@rassvet-ai.com with your suggestion.
Can I upload my own book or lecture notes to search through?
No, there's no such function right now — search only covers Rassvet's shared library. But you can suggest a book to be added to the shared library (admin@rassvet-ai.com).
Does the library include modern academic articles, or only books/textbooks?
Yes, besides books the library also includes modern academic articles.
Comparison with ChatGPT and other AI tools
How is it different from ChatGPT?
Rassvet answers only based on books from its closed database. Every answer includes a reference to a specific book, author, and page — no invented facts, unlike general-purpose AI chats.
Why not just upload a PDF to ChatGPT?
Uploading a single PDF only gives you search within that one book and doesn't protect against the model inventing things beyond the file. Rassvet searches across an entire library of thousands of books at once and is strictly limited to what's actually written in them.
Can Rassvet replace ChatGPT, or vice versa?
No, they're different tools. Rassvet isn't a competitor to ChatGPT or a general-purpose assistant — it's a narrowly specialized search over verified professional sources.
Does Rassvet use the internet when searching?
No, the search only covers the closed book library, not the open internet.
Can I use both tools together?
Yes, they serve different purposes: Rassvet for verified, source-based search, ChatGPT for more general tasks.
Approaches and coverage
Which therapeutic approaches are covered?
CBT, DBT, EMDR, schema therapy, psychoanalysis, Gestalt therapy, ACT, existential therapy, systemic therapy, neuropsychology.
Are all approaches covered equally in depth?
We aim to cover all directions equally thoroughly.
Are DSM-5/ICD-11 included?
Yes, the library includes materials on DSM-5 and ICD-11 — used for differential diagnosis and clinical algorithms.
Can I compare how different schools of thought view the same issue?
Yes, this is a distinct strength of the service — for one question you can get an answer from several professional angles at once (for example, psychology / psychiatry / neurophysiology).
Are there materials on trauma and addiction?
Yes — there are books and a dedicated psychiatry section covering these topics.
Pricing and registration

Yes, separate plans for clinics and centers are planned.
Ethics and confidentiality
Can Rassvet replace supervision or training?
No. The service doesn't replace clinical judgment, in-person consultation, supervision, or emergency care — the professional retains full responsibility for decisions regarding the client.
Who is responsible for clinical decisions?
The professional using the service — Rassvet provides reference information from sources, not clinical recommendations.
Can I enter a real client case in a query?
Yes — in the same way as when presenting a case for supervision: as anonymized as possible, without names, age, or other identifying details.
Are user queries stored on the server?
Yes, they're stored — for fine-tuning Rassvet's internal model. Data is not shared publicly or with third parties.
Are queries used to fine-tune models?
Yes, but only to train Rassvet's own model that runs the site — not third-party models like OpenAI's.
Who is Rassvet not suitable for?
Rassvet isn't a tool for the general public and doesn't replace clinical judgment, in-person consultation, supervision, or emergency care. It's built for practicing professionals (and students starting out in practice) as a working reference tool, not as a standalone source of decisions.
