The AI research paper writer built for academic work
Automatically inserts properly formatted in-text references in APA, MLA, IEEE, Harvard and other styles while you write.
Suggests and completes sentences as you type, helping you keep momentum on long papers rather than stalling on phrasing.
Rewords passages while preserving the original meaning, useful for integrating sources in your own voice.
Upload papers and documents and ask questions conversationally to extract key points without re-reading everything.
AI-native workspace for literature reviews and auditable systematic reviews
Ask a research question in plain language and get a synthesized answer drawn from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar, with every claim linked to its source paper.
Run PRISMA-style reviews with a predefined protocol, recorded screening decisions, dual independent reviewers and a conflict resolver, and a PRISMA diagram generated from your actual counts.
Import from Zotero or Mendeley, add papers by DOI, and get metadata and open-access PDFs fetched automatically, with annotations and notes that feed every other workflow.
Define custom extraction columns and have AI fill them across many papers, with each value linking back to the sentence it came from, exportable to CSV or Excel.
