FAQ

Why Litero over ChatGPT?

Litero AI is praised by both teachers and students as an all-in-one academic writing partner. Unlike ChatGPT, Litero is built explicitly for academic writing with features that help you write better papers in less time while maintaining your own voice:
  • Create first drafts in minutes using real scholarly sources from 2020-2025, not just general knowledge
  • Expand and polish your writing with proper citations in APA, MLA, and Harvard formats
  • Beat writer's block with smart suggestions for your next sentence or paragraph
  • Work directly with your research by uploading your sources
  • Ensure originality and avoid unintentional plagiarism with built-in AI detection and plagiarism-checking tools
  • Plus, use ChatGPT within Litero — it's integrated and understands your whole document context
Litero guides you through the entire paper-writing process, from initial research to final formatting, helping you maintain academic integrity while boosting productivity.

How does writing with Litero work?

You have full flexibility in how you work:
  • Start from a blank page and use AI assistance as needed.
  • Generate a complete first draft based on your instructions.
  • Upload your existing draft and enhance it with our tools.
  • Using AI commands to expand, improve, or add citations to specific paragraphs, you can write naturally in our editor.
  • Your progress is being saved as you write. All changes are fully editable, and you can export your work anytime, should you choose the premium subscription.

How can I ethically use AI in my writing?

Short answer: By staying the one in charge. “Think about Litero AI as a partner and not a substitute, and you'll be really healthy in your use of it.” Dr. Dianna M. Mattern

Long answer: We believe that artificial intelligence should enhance learning, not replace it. Litero is so much more than just a Generative AI that can spit out bits of text for you.
  • It can guide you through the writing process.
  • Give feedback about your prompts to improve your research skills.
  • Litero is integrated with academic databases, so you don’t have to worry about the validity of the sources it suggests. You should still study the source yourself to evaluate how it’s aligned with your argument, of course.
  • You can use a built-in AI assistant to research topics in more detail and chat with your PDFs…
This is just a brief description of Litero’s capabilities that can help you write better and faster while staying ethical in your use of AI. Read more about our approach to the responsible use of AI.

How do you maintain academic integrity while writing papers with AI?

Use Litero AI to:
  • Verify suggested sources. Every time Litero suggests a reference to support your argument, it gives you a link to an academic library where you can access the original source.
  • Make sure all citations and references are properly formatted and traceable.
  • Avoid unintentional plagiarism with built-in Plag Checker and Paraphraser.
  • Identify portions of work that appear to be AI-generated with the built-in AI detector.
  • Use ideas from the Humanizer tool to rewrite them in a human-like way and preserve your own voice.
Also, remember to review your institution’s policies and guidelines, keeping in mind that requirements may differ for some courses. Don’t share the research data with the AI if it’s classified as confidential.

How does Litero protect my privacy?

We take academic integrity and privacy seriously.
  • All your documents and personal information are fully encrypted and secure
  • We never share your research and writing data with third parties
  • Your work remains private and accessible only to you
  • You can delete your data at any time
  • We comply with all data protection regulations

How does billing work? Can I get a refund?

  • You can choose monthly, quarterly, or annual billing (with significant savings for longer terms).
  • Your subscription auto-renews but can be canceled anytime through your account settings.
  • You'll maintain access to premium features until the end of your billing period, even after canceling. Your account's billing center has complete billing details and cancellation instructions.
  • You can delete your data at any time
  • We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied. Contact support at [email protected].

What should I do if something’s not working?

First, verify that you have a stable Internet connection. Then try refreshing your browser. If the problem persists, check if you've hit any usage limits — these are shown in the error message. Still having issues? Contact our support team at [email protected]. If possible, include screenshots — this helps us solve your problem faster.

Does Litero have an app?

Not yet, but we're working on it! For the best experience, we recommend using Litero on your laptop or a desktop computer.

What LLM does Litero AI use?

We use top-of-the-market models: OpenAI GPT-4o and o1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Haiku, and also some custom fine-tuned models. We use them all in conjunction and build prompt chains with research-proven techniques to maximize returns from the LLM and reduce hallucinations. We also use RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) to enhance results with data from academic articles. It's important to note that we don't use customer data for AI training, and commission any datasets we use for internal development. Also, we partner with GPTZero and Copyleaks to help students transition to AI-free and plagiarism-free work.

Does using Litero AI humanizer guarantee better grades for my essays?

While grades depend on subjective evaluation, using Litero's AI humanizer can empower you to make your own writing more natural, clear, and reflective of your unique voice. It helps you refine your text for a more natural and well-structured flow, which can increase the chances of a better grade. However, final results will still depend on your essay's content, adherence to guidelines, and the grading criteria of your institution. Use this tool responsibly to refine your own ideas, not to bypass checks.

Can Litero AI detector check if the text was written by AI?

Yes! Litero comes with an in-built AI detector to identify any signs of AI-generated content in your text.

Can I check my already written paper with your AI detector and make it more natural if needed?

Yes, you can use Litero AI to scan the paper that you have already written. Our AI detector identifies passages that may seem AI-written. This enables you to then examine and revise those parts to truly represent your own perspective and voice. You can also use suggestions from Humanizer tool to make your own writing more natural, clear, and reflective of your unique voice. Use this tool responsibly to refine your own ideas, not to bypass checks.
