Writing & Editor

A complete writing environment with assistant commands in the flow: rich text or LaTeX, citations that follow you, and a slash menu one keystroke away.

Rich text editor

A clean writing surface with formatting support: headings, bold, italic, lists, block quotes, code blocks, tables, and inline math.

Type / anywhere to open the assistant command menu. From there you can outline a section, expand bullets into prose, rewrite for clarity, strengthen an argument, or get a citation suggestion without leaving the document.

LaTeX editor

For papers that require LaTeX, especially in CS, math, physics, and engineering, switch to the LaTeX editor. You get syntax highlighting, autocomplete for common commands, and compilation to PDF.

The Research Agent works the same way in LaTeX mode: ask it to generate tables, format equations, or debug compile errors.

Writing commands

Press / to access:

Outline

Generate a structured outline for a section or chapter.

Expand

Turn a bullet or brief note into a full paragraph.

Rewrite

Improve clarity, tone, or conciseness.

Cite

Search your project library and insert a formatted citation.

Continue

Pick up where you left off and extend the current section.

Summarize

Turn a long passage into a tight overview you can cite.

Citations

Academe manages your citations within each project. Import papers by DOI, sync from Zotero or Mendeley, or let the assistant detect citations as you paste text.

Switch between APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, and more from the citation controls. Every citation links back to the source in your project.

Voice notes

Record voice memos directly in Academe. Recordings are transcribed and saved as searchable notes in your project, useful for ideas during reading, rough drafts you would rather dictate, or fieldwork observations.

Ways to export
Export as PDF, Word (.docx), Markdown, or LaTeX at any time. Formatting and citations are preserved across supported formats.
