My academic journey has taken me from an undergraduate degree all the way to a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at New York University. Like many of you, I've poured countless hours into writing essays, academic reports, and papers, so I know first-hand how crucial it is to source materials effectively.

We are a passionate team of educators, technologists, and former students who know the challenges of academic research firsthand. Our journey began with a simple idea: What if finding and citing credible sources could be as easy as writing the essay itself? With that vision in mind, we developed a tool that not only finds relevant information but also summarizes it and generates citations in seconds—something that even Google Scholar can't do.
