How to use AI Writer

Draft from the papers you have collected

Write sections grounded in your own library, with references drawn from real records rather than invented ones.

Before you start

  • Papers in your library

Steps

  1. 1

    Open AI Writer

    Sidebar → AI Writer.

  2. 2

    Pick the section and the sources

    Choose which papers from your library the draft may use. The writer only cites those records.

  3. 3

    Draft, then rewrite

    Generate a first pass and use rewrite, expand and tighten on individual passages instead of regenerating everything.

  4. 4

    Run the Citation Guardrail

    Every reference is verified against Crossref and OpenAlex before it reaches your document.

  5. 5

    Export

    Copy out, or export to DOCX or Typst Studio for final formatting.

Tips

  • Write the methods yourself; use the writer for framing, summaries and transitions.

Troubleshooting

A reference cannot be verified

The guardrail blocks it on purpose. Replace it with a record from your library that resolves to a real DOI.
