AVA: AI + Verified Analysis


is a new AI-powered tool to interact with publicly available development research—instantly and confidently. Built on a curated library of World Bank official reports and select publications, AVA (ai) delivers reliable, multilingual summaries, synthesizes insights across topics, links directly to cited sources, and includes a writing assistant to help you draft your own work—all in one focused, transparent platform. 

We’re inviting researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners to sign up for early access to AVA (AI). We plan to onboard up to 5,000 users in the first wave, starting May 15th. If interest exceeds capacity, participants will be randomly selected from the pool of early registrants, with preference given to those who register interest sooner. Secure your spot now to help shape the future of user-driven, insight-powered development research and practice..

Why is AVA (ai) unique?

Unlike regular search engines, AVA (ai): 

  • Is focused and curated: Draws only from World Bank research and selected volumes—no internet noise.
  • Provides synthesis, not search results: Distills and connects insights across documents.
  • Is multilingual: Just type your query in your language of choice and view the insights in the same language.
  • Is transparent by design: All answers are cited and traceable, so you can verify and trust what you find.
  • Knows what it doesn’t know: If a question falls outside the library or isn’t clearly framed, AVA (ai) lets you know—no guesswork. 

Watch how it works—how to ask questions, get synthesized insights, and trace answers directly to trusted World Bank reports.
