What is Jenni?
Jenni is an AI-powered academic writing and research assistant built specifically for students, researchers, and academics who need to write credible, well-cited papers. Unlike generic chatbots, Jenni integrates your sources directly into the writing process—so every sentence it suggests is grounded in real research you’ve chosen or imported. Whether you're drafting a thesis, literature review, or journal article, Jenni helps you write faster while keeping your work traceable, accurate, and properly cited.
With over 6 million academics already using it, Jenni streamlines the toughest parts of scholarly writing: finding relevant papers, connecting evidence to claims, and formatting citations correctly. It’s not just about speed—it’s about confidence that your arguments are backed by solid sources and ready for peer review.
What are the features of Jenni?
- Source-Grounded AI Writing: Jenni’s autocomplete only uses your uploaded PDFs or selected library sources—not generic web data—so suggestions are always relevant and citable.

- 248M+ Paper Search: Discover and import full-text Open Access papers from Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, and more without leaving your document.
- 10,000+ Citation Styles: Instantly format references in APA 7th, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, or journal-specific styles with one click.
- AI Research Assistant Chat: Ask questions across your entire library (e.g., “What did @Schiemann2024 say about deadlift strength?”) and get answers with inline citations.
- Peer Review Simulator: Jenni’s “Reviews” feature scans your draft for unverified claims, contradictions, or overstated conclusions—helping you fix issues before submission.
