Check your paper without leaving Word.
A side panel in Word reads your manuscript, flags overclaiming, causal and vague wording, matches in-text citations to your reference list and checks every reference against Crossref. It can mark problems as Word comments. It never changes your text.

What it does, and does not do
- Reads your document to check it; nothing is stored. Only “AI feedback on the selection” sends the selected text to our AI provider (Groq), which does not train on it.
- Comments are added only when you choose Add as Word comments. Your sentences are never changed.
- Literature search, the argument thread, journal styles and the submission checklist are in the full workspace.
