How It Works
Write With Your Sources
Not an AI ghostwriter: a clean space to write, with tools that catch the mistakes that cost real grades.
Citation Checking, as You Write
As you write, every sentence is checked against your source list, flagging direct quotes without a citation, “studies show” with nothing behind it, and citations that match nothing in your bibliography.
Structure Before You Draft
Start from five built-in templates (5-Paragraph Essay, Argumentative Research Paper, Literature Review, Lab Report, Annotated Bibliography), each with a starting outline you can reshape immediately.
Export It Your Way
PDF, Word (DOCX), RTF, or Markdown, with correct pagination, running headers, and a bibliography on its own page.
