About this tool
The builder asks Claude, an AI model, for a clear structure: an introduction with a hook and thesis, body sections that each make one point, a counterargument where it suits the essay type, and a conclusion. Each section lists the kind of evidence to look for rather than inventing sources.
Enter your essay topic or question, choose an essay type such as argumentative or compare and contrast, set a word count and, if you have one, add your thesis. Run it, then research real sources and write each section in your own words. Revise the outline as your reading changes your view.
The topic box takes up to 600 characters. The tool produces an outline, not an essay, and it does not supply real citations. The outline is AI-generated, so do not trust any facts it mentions without checking. Follow your school or university's rules on AI use, and cite the sources you actually read.
Frequently asked questions
Will it write my essay?
No. It builds an outline and prompts for evidence, which supports your own writing. You research, think and write the essay. Many schools restrict AI help, so check your institution's rules before you use any tool.
Does it give real sources?
No. It describes the type of evidence to look for, such as a statistic or an expert view, but it does not provide citations. Find and read real sources yourself and cite them correctly.
How much text can I use, and are there limits?
Each run accepts up to 600 characters for the topic and thesis. There is also a fair-use limit on AI runs per visitor each day so the tool stays free. When you reach it, the free tools that do not use AI still work, and you can run this one again the next day.
How accurate is the AI output?
No AI output is guaranteed accurate. This tool can misread your meaning, repeat a common phrase or state a detail you did not give it, so read the outline through, check every name, number and claim, and edit it before you publish. Treat it as a fast first draft that you review, not finished copy.
