In this video, I walk you through one of the most useful tools I’ve seen this year: an AI tool for research papers that actually works inside Word, Overleaf, and Google Docs.

I don’t just show the tool in action—I also explain how it fits into a broader shift we're seeing across academia. There are hundreds of AI tools out there now, but very few are designed specifically with scientific writing and peer-reviewed publication in mind. What sets this one apart (in my opinion) is that it thinks like a researcher. You can generate outlines, titles, abstracts, and citations—all guided by prompts that actually make sense for academic writing.
If you’re currently doing a PhD, writing a literature review, or preparing your first submission to a journal, this might just be one of the best AI tools you haven’t tried yet. It doesn’t just save time—it helps reduce the cognitive overload of academic writing by offering structure, clarity, and suggestions tailored to your field.
In the video, I also share some honest reflections. What works well. What still needs improvement. And where I think tools like this are headed next. My aim is to help you build a reliable AI toolkit that makes your writing process smoother—without cutting corners or losing the critical thinking that research demands.
Whether you're just starting out or deep into your academic career, I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments what AI tools for researchers you're using—and if there’s something better out there, I’m always keen to test it.
