How Grongy works

How to write a thesis with AI
from your research question to the final draft

A source-first workspace for theses and dissertations, research papers, and literature reviews.

Search 250M+ scholarly records, inspect the publication record and access links, then save only what belongs in your project.

Turn your topic and research question into chapters and editable subsections, each with a clear job in the argument.

Draft sentences and paragraphs from your library. Each citation points to a saved record, and unsupported claims stay visible.

Review source support, tighten the prose, and export to Word, PDF, LaTeX, or Markdown for your department.

Clearer research, from the start. You remain the author.

A workspace built for research

Academic writing:
outline, sources, citations and draft in one place

Grongy keeps your question, outline, sources, notes, and draft connected so each writing session starts with the work you have already done.

Plan before you draft

Give every chapter and subsection a purpose before long-form writing begins.

Start with sources

Search, save, and organise scholarly records without leaving the project.

Put evidence where it belongs

Keep page-located notes and passages beside the claim they support.

Keep decisions connected

Your outline, source notes, and thesis memory stay aligned as the document grows.

Review before you submit

Spot unsupported wording, missing links, and structural gaps while they are still easy to fix.

Source checking

Built-in AI citation checker — does the paper say that?

Grongy compares the wording of a claim with the source you cite. When the paper supports a narrower statement, the mismatch stays visible so you can revise it instead of stretching the evidence.

In the language pairs examined, transfer learning improved low-resource translation quality (Zoph et al., 2016).

PLUS & PRO — PLAN, THEN DRAFT

A first draft to work from, section by section

You approve a chapter plan first. Grongy then drafts each approved section from the sources in your own library and flags what still needs attention. What comes back is raw material to check, cut and rewrite — a starting point, not a thesis to hand in.

  • Proposes chapters, sections and subsections for you to approve or change
  • Keeps citations tied to records in your project library
  • Runs an academic review and flags anything that still needs attention
  • Plus drafts one main section you choose, with its subsections; Pro works through the sections you leave empty

Why a research workspace

Why use Grongy instead of ChatGPT for your thesis?

Chatbots give you answers. A research workspace keeps the question, outline, sources, notes, and draft connected through the whole project.

Read the full comparison with ChatGPT →

Claims stay tied to a source you can open
Each section is drafted from the sources you choose
Your outline and thesis memory remain available as you write
Citations and exports use the publication metadata you saved

A response is not automatically linked to your source library
Separate answers do not form a connected thesis by themselves
You have to rebuild the project context in each prompt
References and document formatting still need a manual check
Built into the workflow

AI tools for academic research:
PDF reader, model choice and thesis memory.

The useful parts are close to the draft: choose the right model, read the paper, and keep your decisions connected.

Choose the model for the task

Use the model that fits the job for drafting, editing, or a difficult research question. Switch when the task changes.

Read the paper, not just the citation

Open a saved PDF, search its full text, and keep notes beside the passages you may cite. Page details stay with the source.

Supervision is asymmetrical: the effort a supervisor puts into commenting is visible, while the work a student does to make sense of those comments is largely invisible and is rarely taught.

Let the thesis remember

Key terms, decisions, and open questions remain linked, so later chapters do not quietly contradict earlier ones.

Frequently asked questions

Grongy AI is an AI thesis writing assistant for students and researchers. It searches more than 250 million real scholarly records, turns your topic and research question into an editable chapter plan, and drafts section by section from the papers you saved — with every citation pointing at a publication you can open. Unlike a general chatbot, it cites only the sources in your own library, and leaves a claim uncited rather than inventing a reference.
