Tools for researchers
Summarize papers and articles, build mind maps of topic areas, outline your own writing, check grammar and translate abstracts.
A real workflow, not a list of apps. Each step chains into the next — summary becomes flashcards, outline becomes draft, draft gets polished.
Summarize PDFs without reading every page. Upload a paper — get TL;DR, section-by-section summary, quoted passages with page numbers, and a list of key claims. Great for scanning a reading list quickly.
Skim reviews and secondary sources faster. Article Summarizer handles URLs and pasted text; YouTube Summarizer handles lectures and conference talks. All return extractable key points.
See the topic landscape. Mind Map Generator turns a reading list, a topic, or a summary into a visual map of claims and sub-topics — useful for spotting gaps, building lit-review structure, or planning your own contribution.
Stake your claim. Thesis Statement Generator returns 3-5 distinct options graded on claim specificity, reasoning preview, scope, and arguability — useful when you're defending a new interpretation to a seminar or committee. Pick the one that matches your evidence, then feed it into the outline.
Draft with structure. Essay Outline Generator (pick "research" or "analytical" type) returns a thesis + introduction + sectioned body + counter-arguments + suggested source types — with no fabricated citations. You fill in the real ones.
Build the study aids. Flashcards from key definitions, Anki-exportable; Quiz Generator for self-testing before a lit-review defense or seminar discussion; Word Counter for abstract word limits; Translate for non-English source material.
Clean the writing. Grammar Checker, Paraphraser for tightening prose, Humanizer if a section reads too AI. All tuned for technical writing, not casual chat.
Free to try — no signup for the first few runs per day of any tool. A free account adds 30 credits/month and saves your work.
Yes — each extracted quote is labeled with its page. The section-by-section summary preserves the paper's structure so you can find the source passage quickly.
No. It returns *source types* (e.g. "peer-reviewed study on adolescent screen time", "census data on remote-work adoption") but never a specific citation. Real sources are your job. Prompt-forbidden to make up authors or DOIs.
For editing, grammar, outlining, and summarization: almost always fine — check your institution's policy. For generating large blocks of your actual argument: generally not. Our tools are designed to help you *work faster*, not replace authorial voice.
