Write your first AI Writer document

Paperguide’s AI Writer feature is designed to streamline your academic writing process, offering AI-powered tools to help you draft, edit, and refine your research papers, project reports, essays, or blog articles.

Start Writing Your First Document

1. Draft Your Sections

   Begin by outlining the sections you want to include in your document. The initial prompt that you give can help determine what headings/subheadings the AI assistant will create as outlines. For example, if you are writing a research paper, common sections in the outline might include an introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and conclusion.

2. Use AI Writing Assistant

   If you’re unsure how to start, use the AI Writing Assistant to generate ideas or first drafts for specific sections. You can ask the AI to summarize research, propose arguments, or even expand on a topic. Simply type in your request, and the AI will generate content to help you get started.

3. Insert References

   While writing, you can easily insert citations from your Reference Manager. Highlight where you want to add a citation, click the Cite Paper button, and select the relevant reference from your library. If you don’t have a relevant paper added in your references, search the public research database based on relevant search terms.

4. Format Your Document

   Use the formatting toolbar to style your text. Add headings for each section (e.g., Heading 1 for main sections and Heading 2 for subsections). You can also create lists, block quotes, or insert tables if needed.

Save and Export

• Once you’ve finished drafting and editing, you can save your document within Paperguide.

• If needed, export the document to a Word file, PDF, or other format for submission or further editing.

Tips

• Take advantage of the AI Writing Assistant to help with writer’s block or when you need help generating ideas or drafting sections.

• Organize your references ahead of time in the Reference Manager to make citation insertion faster while writing.

• Use the Outline View to keep track of your document’s structure and navigate between sections easily.
