The AI workspace where researchers read, write, and cite with every claim traceable to its source
Every AI-suggested sentence in Jenni links back to the precise page and paragraph in your source PDF, so claims stay traceable and easy to check.
Import PDFs, or bring collections over from Zotero and Mendeley, and let Jenni search an academic index of hundreds of millions of papers for supporting sources.
AI chat answers questions across your full library with cited responses, so you can compare findings or unpick a methods section in context.
Generate inline citations in 10,000+ styles, including APA 7th, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, and journal-specific formats.
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.
