Bibliography Formatting
Formats the bibliographic references you provide in APA 7, ISO 690 (an international referencing standard), or Vancouver style (article, book, chapter, website, thesis), with the matching in-text citation. It never invents a missing detail (DOI, pages, year) — it flags it as 'to complete' instead.
Cite Without Plagiarizing
Teaches you to cite a source (quotation marks plus reference), paraphrase honestly, and summarize without plagiarizing, with an example of a too-close vs. a correct paraphrase, and explains plagiarism and self-plagiarism. It refuses to reword a text to dodge a plagiarism detector, and explains why.
Revision Sheet
Turns a course (pasted text, PDF, notes, slides) into a structured one- to two-page revision sheet, with definitions, key ideas, examples, and self-test questions.
