More Time for
Research
AI agents that search, read, and document so you can focus on the science.
Why Coauthor
AI agents that actually help you research
Unlike chatbots that just generate text, Coauthor agents take action. They search databases, read your PDFs, and edit your documents—all with full transparency on who contributed what.
More than a chatbot
Coauthor agents don't just suggest—they act. Search literature, save papers to your library, and edit your document directly.
Built for transparency
Every contribution is tracked. See exactly what AI wrote vs human authors, with analytics to keep everyone accountable.
You are the scientist. You are the author. You are responsible. We're here to help you be heard.
Our Beliefs
AI should be capable AND transparent
We're building Coauthor around principles that combine powerful AI agents with full accountability.
AI agents that take real action
Chatbots just generate text. Our agents search databases, read your PDFs, and edit your documents—doing the work that actually helps you research.
Full transparency on every contribution
Every edit is tracked and attributed. See exactly what AI contributed vs human authors, so you always know who wrote what.
You stay in control
AI proposes, you decide. Every change appears as a suggestion you can accept or reject. You guide the work and approve what stays.
Your research stays yours
You are the author; you own your data. We treat your drafts and sources as sensitive research materials and design for privacy.

The Thesify Difference
More control. More trust. Better outcomes.
AI can help researchers write better—but only if it's accountable, reviewable, and designed for academic standards.
| The problem | How others respond | How Thesify responds |
|---|---|---|
| Language barriers | Generate "better" English for you | Help you express your ideas more clearly, without losing your voice |
| Writing struggles | Write or rewrite your content | Collaborate with you: propose options, you approve and own the result |
| Publication pressure | Produce more output, faster | Help you produce better work—with track changes and reviewable suggestions |
| AI noise in literature | Add to the flood | Make provenance visible (AI vs human) so good work can stand out |
Great science deserves to be heard.
We're building AI that helps researchers cut through the noise, not add to it—so your ideas reach the world with integrity.
