The first academic writing tool with context-aware paper snippets

Bring useful ideas and connections back into view. Keep evidence close while writing and polishing with AI.

A next-generation academic writing workflow

A new workflow for AI academic writing



How it works
Import references, draft with rich text and LaTeX, recall passages, ask with context, polish with evidence, and continue writing—grounded in your local library.
From the blog
The idea of grounding AI-assisted academic writing in researchers' own knowledge and literature is gaining interest among researchers and academic professionals. Join the Substack to follow the conversation.

Thinking about a brand new approach to evidence-grounded AI writing.
Start writing
Retrieve by keyword, ask with full context, basis-backed polish from your library.
Writing workflow
Import your reference PDFs—they are your most important source of knowledge and inspiration.
Build a searchable paper library with precise and fuzzy search—find any passage in your references in seconds, whether your library holds dozens of PDFs or thousands.

Library-grounded revision—not paraphrase. Improve discourse function, claim calibration, and accuracy with evidence cards.
Deep polish uses your draft, neighbors, library snippets, and accuracy review. The goal is an argument that is easier to follow—not merely more elegant wording.
