Where researchers and faculty lose time
Acadly AI was built to remove coordination overhead between drafting, figures, slides, and review. Here are the friction points it targets.
Grant season eats the quarter
Every cycle demands a new proposal in a new format. You copy paste from last year's proposal and lose a week to reformatting and re framing.
Figures that survive peer review
Reviewers complain about unlabeled axes, missing units, and illegible legends. Re running figures at 11 p.m. before submission is a tradition nobody wants.
Reviewer response letters
Responding to reviewer comments requires tone control. Too defensive reads badly. Too deferential concedes more than you meant.
Co author version drift
Three co authors, five edits each, two shared documents. The final manuscript that goes out is never quite the version everyone agreed to.
Workflow
A typical session, end to end
Each step maps to a specific Acadly AI tool. Nothing in the flow requires leaving the workspace.
- 01
Draft the grant
Structured sections for aims, background, approach, innovation, and broader impacts. Switch between IEEE, NIH, NSF templates. Regenerate the approach section without losing the aims.
AI Research Writer - 02
Build journal ready figures
Publication quality figures at 4x DPR. Vector SVG export for LaTeX. Consistent styling across figures in the same paper so the visual language stays coherent.
Chart Builder - 03
Polish the prose
Academic mode rewrites for awkward paragraphs. Clarity and voice scores flag the sentences reviewers will stumble on.
Grammar Checker and AI Paraphrase - 04
Draft reviewer responses
Professional tone control. Paraphrase in Formal mode when you need to concede a point without sounding weak. Keep your meaning intact.
AI Humanizer and Paraphrase - 05
Integrity final pass
A final pass before submission. Plagiarism scores catch accidental self plagiarism. AI Detector flags mechanical phrasing you want to rewrite in your voice.
AI Detector and Plagiarism Checker - 06
Present the work
Editable PPTX for conferences, talks, and internal reviews. Pull Chart Builder figures directly so your slides and your paper tell the same visual story.
Slide Generator
The tools researchers and faculty reach for most
Every feature below is included on every plan. Limits and export options scale with the tier.
IEEE, Chicago, APA, MLA out of the box
Switch citation styles on a draft without rewriting the prose. Useful when a grant gets redirected to a different venue.
Publication ready figures at 4x DPR
Sixteen chart types, explicit axis titles with units, legend placement that does not occlude data. PNG for raster and hand coded SVG for vector.
Humanize without losing meaning
Three tones and three creativity levels. Soften mechanical phrasing in reviewer responses while preserving substance.
Provenance across every artifact
Every paper, figure, and tool run is persisted to your account. When a collaborator asks which version of the figure ended up in the submission, you can find it in seconds.

Frequently asked
Can my lab share templates and citations?
+
Premium includes team workspaces and custom branding. You can bake your institution colors and logo into every export and share templates across coauthors.
Will reviewers detect AI assisted drafts?
+
AI Detector probability rises with pasted model output. Humanizer and Paraphrase reduce detection scores while preserving meaning. The honest path is disclosure in the methods section plus independent verification of every claim and citation.
Does Acadly AI store my unpublished work?
+
Yes, encrypted at rest with AES 256, transmitted over TLS 1.3. Your content is never used to train our models. Our team cannot access your work without explicit permission. See the privacy policy for full details.
Can I bring my own BibTeX library?
+
BibTeX import and export are supported today. Zotero and Mendeley integrations are on the roadmap.
Other use cases

Finish the dissertation without losing the thread
A writing workspace that keeps your literature review, draft chapters, figures, and defense slides in one place, with every claim traceable to a source.
For undergrad and masters students
Understand the reading, finish the essay, keep your own voice
Summarize the assigned papers, draft coursework essays with the citation style your syllabus demands, and polish without letting the model erase your voice.
