CiteOwl

An AI agent that writes research papers with you.

It searches the literature and cites what it finds. Nothing changes in your paper until you say so.

1How it works

You ask in plain words. It finds the source, writes the line, and the change waits for you.

1.1
The Mozart effect

The effect got its name from a 1993 experiment with college students and a Mozart sonata.

2Citations

The same section, with the change accepted. Every citation the agent writes opens the source it rests on.

1.1
The Mozart effect

The effect got its name from a 1993 experiment with college students and a Mozart sonata. A 2010 meta-analysis of about forty studies later traced most of the gain to publication bias and to the lift any enjoyable music gives, which leaves little of the original effect standing.[2]Mozart effect-Shmozart effect: A meta-analysis“Formal tests yielded evidence for confounding publication bias, requiring downward correction of effects. On the whole, there is little evidence left for a specific, performance-enhancing Mozart effect.”Open source In sources

Background

Sure! The Mozart effect refers to the idea that listening to Mozart can temporarily boost spatial reasoning. It was first reported by Rauscher et al. (1993), though later studies have questioned it. After ten minutes of a Mozart sonata, students scored eight to nine IQ points higher on a spatial reasoning task than after silence.[1]

6Questions

The ones worth asking before you trust software with a paper that has your name on it.

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 it is tuned to sound like you wrote it. If a sentence still doesn't, you see it as a diff and rewrite it before accepting.
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. Each section keeps a running summary the agent re-reads instead of the whole manuscript, so it holds the thread across a 30, 80, or 200-page document. You stay in the loop the whole way: every edit is a diff, every run leaves a checkpoint you can go back to, and you accept or rewrite anything you'd say differently.
Can I import a draft I've already started?
Yes. Paste plain text anytime, or on Plus import a PDF, Word, LaTeX, or Markdown file. The agent reads what's there, gives you a section map, and picks up from the gaps. Write into any section yourself and ask the agent to revise a paragraph or tighten a transition. It doesn't rewrite work you didn't ask it to.
Can I export to my journal's required format?
PDF on every plan. Word and Markdown on Plus (Word opens in most journal templates). LaTeX on Pro. Citations and section structure carry through.
Is my work private?
Yes. Only you can see your documents. They are not used to train any model, and they are not shared with anyone.
