Generic AI
A chatbot for replies.
- A reply in chat. You copy and paste it in.
- Suggests a reference. Verifying is on you.
- Each new reply replaces what came before.
- A new session, with no memory of the work.
An AI agent that writes research papers with you.
It researches, writes, cites, and edits. You review every change as a diff.
Watch it research,
cite, and write.
The agent searches academic sources, drafts a new section with inline citations, and lands the edit in your document. You review every change as a diff, ready to accept, reject, or rewrite.
Sources & citations
Every claim links back to a real paper.
Each citation in the document points to a paper the agent actually retrieved and read, never imagined. Hover any marker to see the source and the exact passage that supports the claim. Verifying a claim takes seconds, not an evening.
Every version is saved.
Compare, review, restore.
Every accepted edit creates a checkpoint with a label and a timestamp. Click any one to see exactly what changed at the section, paragraph, and word level. Restore the entire manuscript with a single click. nothing is overwritten, nothing is lost.
Why not just ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a reply.
This gives you a paper.
This gives you a paper.
Same models underneath. The workspace is built around the paper. its sections, its citations, its history. not around the chat.

FAQ
Things worth knowing.
Will it cite papers that don't exist?
No. The agent only cites sources it has actually retrieved and read. Every citation includes the supporting quote, so you can hover any [n] and verify the claim against the source in seconds, instead of spending an evening checking references.
Will the writing sound like AI?
No. The agent writes like a person, not a chatbot. It avoids the giveaways (no “it is important to note,” no “delve into,” no padding, no robotic transitions) and is tuned to read like a researcher's prose. If a sentence still doesn't sound like you, you see it as a diff and rewrite it before accepting. Either way, the result reads in your voice.
Will it work for a thesis or a long paper?
Yes. Documents are organized into numbered sections, each with a running summary. The agent re-reads those summaries instead of the whole manuscript, so it stays coherent across a 30, 80, or 200-page document.
Can the agent write my entire thesis?
Yes. Give it the thesis topic, your supervisor's brief, or a chapter outline, and the agent will draft the full manuscript section by section, with cited sources throughout. You stay in the loop the whole way: every edit is a diff, every section is a checkpoint, and you accept or rewrite anything you'd say differently.
Can I import a draft I've already started?
Yes. Paste plain text or import a Markdown or DOCX file. The agent reads what's there, gives you a section map, and picks up from the gaps. It doesn't rewrite work you didn't ask it to.
Can I write parts myself and have the agent edit my writing?
Yes. Type into any section yourself, then ask the agent to revise a paragraph, add a citation, tighten the prose, or fix a transition. Every change comes back as a diff, so your writing stays yours unless you accept the edit.
Can I export to my journal's required format?
PDF and Markdown on every plan. DOCX (for Word and most journal templates) on Plus. LaTeX on Pro. Citations and section structure carry through.
Is my work private?
Yes. Your documents are not used to train any model and are not shared with anyone. Only you, and the people you choose to give access, can see them.
