How to use Citation’s AI writer.

Go from a writing prompt to a first draft in three steps. Keep shaping the result until it sounds like you.

  1. Describe what you want to write.

    Enter your topic in the Write field above. Name the content type, audience, tone and length you need. Add the key points to include, then choose Start writing to review your brief.

  2. Generate and review your draft.

    Choose Write draft to turn your brief into a first draft. Read the result, check any factual claims and decide what to keep. A free account lets you save the document and continue editing.

  3. Make the final edit yours.

    In your document, ask the writing assistant to expand an idea, shorten a paragraph or adjust the tone. Add your own examples and review the final wording. Keep sources and citations beside any claims that need evidence.

Try a specific AI writing prompt.

Tell the AI writer what to create and who will read it. A useful brief includes a format, purpose and a few details:

Write a friendly email inviting neighbors to a community garden meeting. Mention that we will choose what to plant and share ideas for the space. Keep it under 100 words. Leave placeholders for the date and location.

Different minds.
Shared stories.

AI Writer FAQs.
Clear answers.

What is an AI writer?

An AI writer is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to turn a topic or instructions into written content. You can use it to draft essays, articles, emails, reports and stories, or to rewrite existing text. Citation’s AI writer helps you generate a first draft and keep developing it in a document editor with your own sources and citations.

How does Citation’s AI writer work?

Enter a writing brief with your topic, content type and key points. Citation uses a language model to generate a draft from those instructions. You review the result before continuing. In the workspace, the AI writing assistant can also work with your document, a selected passage and saved sources to help you revise or expand the text.

Is Citation’s AI writer free?

Yes. You can generate a writing preview and continue with a free Citation account. An account is required to save your document and keep editing in the workspace. Usage limits apply, and your Usage settings show your current allowances. Free access does not include unlimited AI writing.

What can I write with an AI writer?

You can create an essay outline, a blog post introduction, an email, a report, a short story or a summary of material you provide. Students can organize an argument, professionals can draft a project update, and researchers can explain a complex idea. Specify the format and audience, then check the draft and add your own knowledge before using it.

Can the AI writer rewrite text in my own voice?

Yes. In your document, select the text to revise and describe what to change. Ask for shorter sentences, a warmer tone or a more formal version while keeping your meaning. You can also import a document to start with a writing review. Compare suggestions with your original, and use your own examples and edits to keep the result personal.

Can I use the AI writer with citations and references?

Yes. Save and review a source, insert its linked citation into your draft, and choose a style such as APA, MLA or Chicago. Citation formats the linked references and bibliography. Generating text and verifying evidence are separate steps: read the original source and confirm that it supports your claim before citing it.

Can I use Citation for academic writing?

Citation can help you outline an essay, improve a research paper’s structure, revise a paragraph and organize references. Your argument and source evaluation remain your responsibility. Follow the AI rules for your course, institution or publisher, and disclose assistance where required. Rewriting a source’s words does not remove the need to cite it.

Does an AI writer guarantee accurate or original text?

No. An AI writer can produce incorrect facts, unsupported claims or wording that needs revision. Check the facts, read the sources and edit the result before sharing it. Citation’s web match review compares passages with accessible public web text; it does not cover every publication or private repository and cannot certify originality.

How do I choose the best AI writer for my work?

Choose around the work you need to finish: drafting, rewriting, research, collaboration or export. Check whether you can control edits, work with your own sources and understand the usage limits. Citation is built for writing that needs a document editor, references, citations and feedback in one workspace.

Can I import and export my writing?

Yes. Paste text or import a DOCX or TXT draft, then review the formatting and reconnect citations where needed. Export the finished document as DOCX, PDF or TXT, and export source records as BibTeX or RIS. Exported files are separate copies and do not stay synchronized with your Citation document.
