For Stata and R researchers

Ship analysis, not copy-paste.

Tell Sytra what you want to estimate. It writes the code, runs it in Stata, validates the output, and keeps the full workflow reproducible and review-ready.

Free forever. Open source. Local-first.

What users care about

  • No context switching between chat and Stata
  • Faster debug cycles on real research code
  • Cleaner handoff from analysis to paper tables

Supports Stata 17+ today. R support is in progress.

Validation details

Why this feels different

Built to reduce real research friction

Get early access

Runs in your local Stata

Sytra executes commands in your installed Stata instance. No browser sandbox. No copy-paste loop.

Self-correcting execution

Validation runs before and after execution. If Stata fails, Sytra retries with concrete fixes.

Package-aware by default

Missing commands like `reghdfe` or `esttab` are detected with install guidance built into the loop.

Results you can trust

Output is parsed, checked, and kept reproducible so model results are not just plausible, but auditable.

Data stays on your machine

Datasets and do-files remain local. You bring your own model key and keep full control of access.

Built for methods work

Optimized for econometrics workflows: FE models, IV diagnostics, table export, and iterative refinement.

What you actually get

Real deliverables from every run

Sytra is built for researcher workflows, not demo prompts. Each run produces code, checks, and artifacts you can hand to collaborators or include in replication packages.

Executable scripts, not snippets

Sytra produces runnable Stata code you can save, inspect, and rerun with your project files.

Validation attached to each run

Return codes, warnings, and auto-fixes are tracked so failures are visible and recoverable.

Model iteration without chaos

Each revision keeps context from the previous run so specification changes stay auditable.

Governance-friendly by default

Local execution and BYO key keep sensitive datasets under your own institutional controls.

Step 01

Define the target estimate

Specify design, controls, fixed effects, and export requirements in plain language.

Step 02

Execute with self-correction

Sytra runs Stata locally, handles errors, and retries with concrete fixes before returning.

Step 03

Export for paper and review

Deliver clean tables, reproducible scripts, and a traceable run history ready for coauthors.

Methods and trust

Coverage built for applied research

Sytra is tuned for estimation workflows used in economics, policy, business, and public health. It focuses on correct execution, clear diagnostics, and clean export.

  • Runs inside your installed Stata instance with your existing ado packages.
  • Detects missing dependencies and provides install-aware recovery guidance.
  • Keeps a reproducible trail from prompt to final table or figure export.

Panel and fixed effects

Built for iterative FE work with package-aware defaults and clustered inference.

xtset firm_id yearreghdfe y treat controls, absorb(firm_id year) vce(cluster firm_id)

Difference-in-differences

Supports staggered adoption and event-study style outputs used in applied work.

IV and diagnostics

Keeps first-stage and identification checks in the same execution loop.

Tables and reporting

Moves from estimates to publication tables without manual copy-paste cleanup.

Simple loop

Describe → Execute → Validate → Export

Sytra is not chat-only. It is an execution loop that closes the gap between prompt and publishable output while preserving reproducibility and local data control.

Supports Stata 17+ now. R support is in active development.
