Who it's for

  • Academic researchers drafting papers or chapters from a collection of source papers.
  • Students preparing essays or thesis material who need a cited first draft to review against their institution's AI-use policy.
  • Writers using Zotero, Mendeley, or Overleaf who want to bring research sources into a drafting and citation-review workflow.

Not the right fit if…

  • Teams that need a single document longer than 80 pages: the listed plan limits top out at 80 pages.
  • Writers who need a citation style outside the listed styles and do not want to edit LaTeX in Overleaf: the page directs users to make that manual change there.

How it fits your workflow

Upload or import research papers, or search for papers through Semantic Scholar. Provide a prompt and set document length, language, and citation style; ThesisAI generates a draft with inline citations.

Review the draft's citation report and source notes, make your own edits, then export as PDF, Word, LaTeX, or BibTeX depending on the plan. You can also export to Overleaf for manual editing.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as one document?

A document is a single piece of writing submitted for review, such as a chapter, paper, or essay, up to the page limit on the plan. Revising or rerunning the review on the same document does not use another credit.

Can I control the document length?

Yes. A settings slider lets users select a length from 8 to 80 pages, subject to the plan's page limit.

Can I get a student or academic discount?

Yes. The page says to contact ThesisAI using a university email for a student discount. Larger lab and department licenses are also available by quote.

Are customer documents used to train AI models?

ThesisAI says it does not use customer content to train models. Drafts and uploaded sources are private to the user, and account content can be deleted.

Which citation styles are available?

The listed styles are Alphabetic, Numeric, APA, IEEE, Harvard, Oxford, Chicago Notes, and Chicago Author-Date. For other styles, the page says users can edit the LaTeX in Overleaf.

Can I use ThesisAI from Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini?

Yes. Add https://www.thesisai.io/mcp as a custom connector, sign in with a ThesisAI account, and approve the connection. The assistant can set citation style and language, add sources, start a document, and download the finished file. The connector uses the same credits and limits as the website.

Can I submit a ThesisAI document as my own work?

ThesisAI describes its output as an AI-generated draft to work from, not a document to submit unread. Users should check their institution's policy, disclose AI use where required, and verify citations. Its Terms of Use prohibit passing AI-generated output off as unaided human writing.

How can I contact support?

Use the chat widget in the bottom-right corner. Support says it will respond via chat or email within 48 hours, usually faster.
