Updated partner reviews

Researched for 2026

Partner relationships are disclosed and marked as sponsored. They do not determine inclusion, order, or conclusions.

Workspace AI

Best for students who already organize notes, readings, and drafts in Notion—not for independently verifying academic evidence.

GTM workflow platform

A capable automation platform for marketing and sales teams, but no longer a natural first choice for a student essay workflow.

AI agents & knowledge search

Useful when you want multiple models, custom agents, and private knowledge in one workspace; excessive for a one-off essay.

Budget AI writing utility

A straightforward, inexpensive option for short-form drafting and rewriting, but not a research or citation system.

Cited academic research

One of the more relevant legacy partners today because it now emphasizes scientific literature, traceable claims, and bibliography data.

AI for PDFs and files

A focused reading companion for interrogating files with citations; it helps inspect evidence but should not make the final academic judgment.

Historical archive

Jasper, Smodin, and Textero remain accessible for historical context but stay outside the search index until they receive a substantive update.
