What are you writing today?
Thezis helps you write research papers faster, section by section, with AI that assists instead of taking over. Get your research papers done today.
Why.
Here's the thing about research.
You read references. You highlight PDF files. You take notes. You think you're being organized. But then you sit down to actually write — and everything falls apart.
Your highlights are stucked in a PDF app. Your notes are in a spreadsheet somewhere. Your best quote? You remember reading it. You just can't find it. So you end up doing the whole thing twice — once to research, once to re-find your research.
People have tried to fix this. Spreadsheets. Citation managers. Color-coded folders. But these aren't solutions. They're just more places for your work to get lost.
The problem was never organization skills. But it was the tools.
So that's why we built Thezis.
Upload your PDFs. Make highlights. Pick and cite highlights. Everything lives in one place. No switching between apps.
All the research tools you need.
Reference library.
To keep your sources organized.
Before
- PDFs scattered across Downloads, Drive, and email
- Renaming files to author_year_title.pdf

After
- Every project gets its own reference library
- Drag and drop PDFs or upload in bulk
- Metadata auto-extracted — title, authors, year, DOI
- Built-in PDF viewer — read, highlight, and annotate without leaving the app
Search scholarly articles.
Find papers across 15+ databases without leaving the app.
Before
- Jumping between Google Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, and your school's database

- Finding a paper then hunting for the PDF separately
- Manually entering title, year, and authors for each source
After
- One search across 15+ databases — arXiv, PubMed, Nature, Springer, IEEE, and more
- AI suggests foundational, adjacent, methodological, and emerging papers
- Suggestions adapt to your paper title and research field
- Find a paper, upload its PDF — metadata auto-fills

AI editor.
Describe what you want. AI writes it from your sources.
Before
- Staring at a blank Google Doc

Introduction
Sleep plays a critical role in memory consolidation, transforming labile short-term memories into stable long-term representations (Walker, 2017). Research over the past two decades has established that both slow-wave sleep and REM sleep contribute distinct mechanisms to this process.
During slow-wave sleep, hippocampal sharp-wave ripples coordinate with thalamocortical spindles to reactivate and redistribute memory traces to neocortical networks...

FAQ
Questions? Answered.
Learn how Thezis helps you organize sources, cite PDF highlights, write section by section, and export your paper when it is ready.
What is Thezis?
Thezis is an AI research paper app for writing academic work section by section. It brings your draft, PDFs, highlights, citations, bibliography, and AI editing chat into one workspace.
How is Thezis different from ChatGPT or a generic AI writer?
Thezis is built around the research writing workflow, not one-off prompts. You organize a paper into sections, attach sources to the section you are writing, cite exact PDF highlights, and revise without losing track of where evidence came from.
Can Thezis cite sources from my PDFs?
Yes. You can upload PDFs, highlight important passages, and use those highlights while drafting. Thezis can insert inline citations from selected highlights and keep the cited sources connected to your bibliography.
Does Thezis write the whole paper for me?
No. Thezis is designed for writing with AI, not handing the whole paper to AI. You stay in control of the argument, section structure, sources, and edits while Thezis helps turn notes and source material into clearer academic prose.
Who is Thezis for?
Thezis is for students, graduate students, PhD candidates, and researchers writing essays, literature reviews, theses, dissertations, and research papers that depend on real sources.
Can I build a bibliography automatically?
Yes. When you cite sources in Thezis, the references section updates automatically. Thezis supports common academic citation formats including APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and AMA.
Can I export my paper?
Yes. You can export your draft with citations and references as PDF, Word, or Markdown, so it is easier to submit, share, or continue editing outside Thezis.
Can I try Thezis for free?
Yes. Thezis has a free plan, and you can try the interactive demo before creating an account. The free plan is meant to help you test the PDF, highlighting, citation, and AI writing workflow on real research work.
