Draft full research paper sections from a title and abstract

Give it a paper title and abstract, and it drafts every section with sourced citations pulled from academic databases.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per paper section.

The problem it solves

Drafting a full research paper from scratch takes days of searching journals, tracking citations, and writing each section by hand. You want a strong first draft fast so you can spend your time refining ideas instead of starting from a blank page.

Who it fits

Researchers and academic teams who need a fast first draft of a paper.

How it works

  1. You submit a paper title and abstract
  2. The system searches CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex for relevant sources
  3. AI drafts each section, from introduction through conclusion, using those sources
  4. Citations are formatted and compiled into the sections
  5. You receive a complete draft document with a reference list
What you get

Paper sections drafted before you start writing

You get a full first draft of your research paper, with sourced citations pulled from academic databases for every section.

What you get

A full draft research paper with in-text citations and a reference list.

What you need

An OpenAI or OpenRouter API key and access to academic search APIs.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
