# Ritivel

> Ritivel is an AI-native workspace for regulatory and medical writing teams at life sciences companies. Its AI agents draft dense regulatory documents - CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs - directly in Microsoft Word, following FDA formatting rules and pulling from a company's own clinical data and prior submissions, with every claim cited back to its source. The goal is to compress work that normally takes weeks of manual synthesis into minutes, helping drugs reach patients sooner.
