AI research assistant that grounds every claim in real, peer-reviewed citations
Searches 200M+ peer-reviewed academic papers and drafts essays with verifiable DOIs, never inventing sources.
About this launch

Truessay is an AI-powered research assistant designed for students, researchers, and academics writing literature reviews, thesis chapters, and argumentative essays. It uses a search-first methodology: every draft begins with a query against live academic databases containing over 200 million peer-reviewed papers. The retrieved sources are presented before any text is generated, ensuring all claims are grounded in real, verifiable citations with DOI links.
Unlike general-purpose AI writing tools that can hallucinate sources, Truessay's post-processing layer prunes citations that drift beyond what the retrieved papers support. The tool supports 11 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Arabic with right-to-left formatting. It exports to Word, Markdown, and LaTeX formats with automatic citation formatting in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, and AMA styles.
Truessay is positioned as a research aid and drafting assistant, not a ghost-writer. It requires an active subscription to generate and export research-grounded drafts, with student plans available at a discounted rate for verified academic email addresses.
