How it works

Essay Outline

Lay the foundations of your essay before you write a word.

Get a better result

  1. One idea per pillar

    Each body section should carry one reason. If it carries two, split it.

  2. Budget your words

    Spend most of your length in the body; keep the introduction and conclusion lean.

  3. Outline, then reorder

    Put your strongest reason last so the essay builds toward it.

How it works

  1. 1

    You give a topic or thesis, the essay type and a target length.

  2. 2

    An AI model plans an introduction, body sections that suit the essay type, and a conclusion.

  3. 3

    Each section gets short notes on what to say and what kind of evidence to find.

  4. 4

    We share the word count across the sections so it adds up to your length exactly.

Good to know

The outline describes the evidence to look for instead of citing sources, so nothing in it is invented. You add the real sources.
