Jenni

What it does

Jenni takes in PDFs, imports from Zotero or Mendeley, and searches an academic index of hundreds of millions of papers. It produces draft sentences for a research document that are linked to the source passages they draw on, with inline citations in more than 10,000 styles and export to .docx, LaTeX or HTML. An AI chat can answer questions across your library with cited responses.

People use Jenni as a single workspace where reading, drafting and referencing happen together. Its distinct feature is that AI-suggested sentences can be traced to a specific page and paragraph in the source PDF, so a writer can verify each claim. Other tools in the workflow include a Reviews feature that flags unsupported or overstated claims, real-time co-authoring with comments, and cross-referencing of figures and tables.

Jenni suits graduate students, PhD candidates, academic research teams and some industry analysts writing literature reviews and papers. A free plan is available with limits on autocompletes, PDF uploads, AI edits, chat messages and reviews. Paid Plus and Pro plans add higher or unlimited quotas, and the AI output still requires human checking of the cited sources.
