What is Aithor.io

Who runs Aithor.io

Aithor.io is run by Chatbot App Limited, the company named as data controller in our privacy policy. Company details and ways to reach the team are on the About page.

The pages on this site are written and reviewed by the Aithor.io team. Our editorial policy explains how we pick topics, where AI helps with drafts and how we check sources before anything goes live.

What you can do with it

Aithor.io puts several academic tools behind one account. Each one fits a different point in your semester:

Writing

The core tool is Guided writing. You give it your assignment brief or rubric, it proposes a title and an outline, and then it drafts each section with you in a live document. Cites real academic sources from OpenAlex and Crossref, and you choose the referencing style: 10,851 citation styles (APA 7, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, ABNT…).

A dissertation works the same way, one chapter at a time. Already have a draft? Imports your draft without rewriting it and carries on from where you left off.

Two features help you stand behind what you hand in:

• Check against the source opens the cited paper and looks for the passage that supports each citation. It comes with Aithor Pro and only works on papers with an open-access PDF.
• The Process report shows which parts you wrote yourself and how the paper came together, with a shareable link for your tutor on Aithor Pro.

Research

The Investigator answers a research question with scholarly papers and tells you how much the studies agree. It searches OpenAlex, an open index of research. Over 200 million scholarly works (OpenAlex). You’ll find it in the AI research assistant. If your project starts with what’s already been published, the literature review tool screens the studies and drafts the synthesis.

Studying

Study turns your material into things you can revise with. Study from a PDF, Word file, audio, up to 10 photos of your notes, a web page, a YouTube video, your own text or just a topic. Then choose from its 8 tools: Quiz, Open questions, Flashcards, Concept map, Infographic, Presentation, Podcast and Video. Everything is in the study tools.

When a paper is finished and you have to present or defend it, you can practise from inside the document. Defense mode: asks you about your paper one question at a time and tells you what to review.

Working on a text you already have

There is also an AI chat that reads your files, a paraphraser that can also proofread and translate, an AI detector that explains its reasoning sentence by sentence, and a humanizer. None of them can promise what your university’s detector will say.

Where you use it

Works in the browser on a computer or phone, at dashboard.aithor.io: nothing to install. Sign up with Google or with email and password.

There’s no separate app: on your phone you open the same address and get the same tools. Long writing sessions are easier on a laptop; a quick quiz on the bus works fine on a phone.

Languages

Interface in 9 languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Indonesian and Hindi. The app opens in your browser’s language.

In Guided writing, the guide replies in your language and the paper comes out in the language of your brief. In Study you choose the output language. Generates in Spanish (Spain, Latin America or Mexico for audio), English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Russian, or in the language of the source.

Pricing

One paid plan, Aithor Pro, with no lock-in: cancel anytime. The price depends on your country and is shown in your currency.

The free plan is a trial: its quotas do not renew. Use it to see how each tool works before you pay; it isn’t meant to get a whole paper done for free. The pricing page compares the two plans tool by tool.

What Aithor.io doesn’t do

• It doesn’t make decisions for you. The guide suggests; you choose what stays. Your argument and your conclusions are yours.
• It doesn’t invent your experience. If an assignment asks for a placement, a lab session or a personal reflection, that part has to come from you.
• The Process report isn’t a certificate. It measures what happened in the editor: it does not certify that no AI was used.
• It doesn’t replace your university’s rules. Each institution decides whether AI is allowed and how to acknowledge it. Our guide on how to disclose AI use is a good place to start.
