About VetAssist
AI-powered assistance helping U.S. veterans understand and navigate the VA disability claims process — free, forever.
Our Mission
Millions of U.S. veterans are entitled to disability compensation but struggle with a complex, opaque claims process. VetAssist exists to change that. We provide free, AI-powered educational tools so every veteran can understand their benefits and file with confidence.
Built by the Cherokee AI Federation, VetAssist is guided by the principle of thinking seven generations ahead — creating technology that serves veterans today and preserves institutional knowledge for those who serve tomorrow.
How It Works
7-Specialist AI Council
Unlike generic AI chatbots (which have a 56% citation error rate on VA questions), VetAssist uses a council of seven specialized AI agents. Each specialist reviews your question from a different angle — regulations, medical evidence, legal precedent, appeals strategy, and more — then they deliberate and deliver a single, validated response with citations.
Features
VA Disability Calculator
Calculate your combined disability rating using the official VA formula (38 CFR 4.25), including bilateral factor and special monthly compensation.
AI Chat Assistant
Ask questions about VA claims, regulations, and processes. Every response is validated by the 7-specialist Council with regulatory citations.
Educational Resources
Access guides, articles, and explanations about the VA disability system — from beginner basics to advanced topics like secondary conditions.
Privacy Protected
Your personal information is automatically detected and redacted. We never store your SSN, VA file number, or other sensitive data.
