AI-Writer

AI-Writer is an AI research assistant and academic writing tool for people who have to defend every sentence they publish. You hand it a question, not a prompt, and it builds the answer from peer-reviewed and open access papers. The company says its corpus holds more than 100 million open science papers.

That single-minded focus is the whole pitch. Most chatbots can string together a plausible paragraph about a protein pathway or a market trend. Far fewer can show you the paragraph in the paper that backs it up. AI-Writer shows the source paragraph, links to the paper, and hands over full bibliographic data in several citation styles plus BibTeX.

The catch is scope. This is not a tool for cover letters, ad copy, or blog intros. If you need polished marketing text, you'll be happier elsewhere. And since answers lean on published literature, fast-moving topics that academics haven't written about yet come back thin.

Getting Started

1. Open ai-writer.com and start the seven day trial. No card is needed, and the trial ends on its own instead of rolling into a subscription.
2. Type your research question in plain language. Skip the prompt engineering, since the tool takes a question and nothing else.
3. Run Topic Explorer first if the subject is unfamiliar, and let it list the sub-questions you ought to cover.
4. Read the answer with its citation trail open, then click through to the source paragraphs to check the claims against the papers.
5. Add your own follow-up questions to the list, drag the sections into the order you want, then export the finished piece as an HTML file or share it by link.
