One workspace, start to finish

01. Bring your sources

Upload PDFs or connect Zotero and Mendeley. Everything lands in one library, tagged and searchable.

02. Write with backup

Draft alongside an AI that's actually read your sources with you, not one guessing from a random prompt.

03. Review and tighten

Catch claims that don't have a source yet and clean up the writing before you move on to finalize your work.

04. Cite and hand it in

Add citations in whatever style your school wants, then export to Word, PDF, Google Docs, or a live web page.

Never guess which source to cite

Click on any specific claim in your draft to find the most accurate source to cite.

Talk to your sources, not just about them

What students are saying

"The citations feature is a lifesaver. It automatically finds real sources in the correct format, which used to take me longer than actually writing the paper."

"I use it as a brainstorming partner. The autocomplete helps me expand my thoughts when I get stuck, but the writing feels like my own voice."

"I caught two citations that were subtly wrong before I submitted, ones I would have sworn were fine. That alone was worth switching for."

Frequently asked questions

How is Writing Studio different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn't know what's in your reading list and starts from a blank slate every time. Writing Studio drafts alongside the PDFs and papers you've actually uploaded or connected through Zotero and Mendeley, writes inline as you go instead of back-and-forth chat, and every citation traces back to a real passage in your library with a confidence score, not something the model is recalling from memory.

Does Writing Studio keep my work original?

Yes. It helps you research and draft faster, but the argument and the prose stay yours. An AI declaration feature marks exactly which parts of your draft came from AI assistance, so you always have a clear, honest picture of your own work, no guessing, no gray areas.

How do you make sure citations aren't made up?

Every citation links back to an actual passage in a source that's in your library, never to something the AI is recalling from memory. Highlight any claim and it pulls the exact passage that source uses to support it, along with a confidence score for how well that source actually backs up what you wrote. If nothing in your library supports the claim, it gets flagged instead of quietly cited, so you catch a missing source before your professor does.

What citation styles does it support?

APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and most other styles your school is likely to require. You can switch styles at any point without reformatting anything by hand.

Is my library and my work kept private?

Your sources, drafts, and library are private to you by default, sharing only happens if you invite someone as an editor. Send me the actual data retention and training policy and I'll lock this to that.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. You can research, write, and cite on the free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans add more AI actions per month and unlimited uploads once you're using it regularly.
