Six steps from blank page to a well-structured draft. Your thinking, structured and strengthened.
Step 01
Create a new project and start your draft, or import existing work from Markdown or Word (.docx). Each project is a self-contained workspace for one piece of writing.
Step 02
Add a thesis node, then build out your argument with claims and evidence. The scaffold is a structured map that lives alongside your prose, showing you how every piece of your argument connects.
Step 03
Bring in your research via DOI lookup, PDF upload, web URL, Zotero library, or manual entry. Every source lives in your Source Library where you can read, search, and annotate inline.
Step 04
Highlight passages in your sources and link them directly to nodes in your scaffold. This creates a traceable chain from your prose to the evidence that supports it.
Step 05
Use AI to extract relevant passages from sources, check consistency across sections, strengthen weak claims, and build a positions map. Every word stays yours. The AI sharpens your thinking, not your prose.
Step 06
Export your document in Markdown or Word format with an auto-generated bibliography. View and copy your formatted references from the Sources panel, or let the export handle it. Your scaffold and source connections travel with your draft.
