Why students use AI writing assistant by Litero AI?

AI Writing Assistant: How to Maximize Your Writing

New AI tools focus on a wide range of things like visuals, sounds, and writing, and while some of the results are grand, there are some smaller tasks that also benefit from AI tools. Writing is the best example of this. An AI writing assistant supports the writing process through every stage, including thinking about what to write and actually writing it. Writing doesn’t have to be a solitary process, and using an assistant means you can receive guidance and feel supported. Much like tools like grammar check and using a synonyms dictionary, an assistant is optional, but it can be a powerful tool for writing. When you include AI within your writing process, you’re adding incredible potential to what you write because an AI writing assistant works with you depending on what you need and what you’re struggling with. Choosing an AI writing assistant means having support at every step of the way, and it’s the ideal tool for any writer, regardless of what you need to do.

Faster and Easier Writing

An AI writing assistant does exactly that: it assists you in your writing. It can give you ideas, feedback, and questions that help you tailor your writing. Moreover, when it answers your questions or prompts, it allows you to write faster by giving you a sound basis. The assistant gives you writing help and guidance based on what you need, and it’s flexible enough that different types of assignments will not be a challenge.

An Assistant Whenever You Need It

You can choose when you use it; it’s not an obligation. Knowing when to ask for help is important in any situation, and knowing that you always have a tool at your disposal helps you focus on what you can and can’t do at a given moment. The assistant doesn’t have a set time or a limited number of options it can give you; this availability means you’re in full control over what you do and when you do something. Even if you don’t use it, it’s better to know that you always have this support if you need it.

Quality Control

An AI writing assistant offers a wide range of things, among those we can find quality control. Does your writing flow? Are there ideas that seem incomplete? Does the prompt match what you wrote? The writing assistant can help answer these questions and more, giving you confidence and quality writing. Professors often give feedback and sometimes the opportunity to correct errors, but it’s a lot better to address any flaws before you receive a grade. This also gives you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and be a better writer. For example, the assistant can suggest different transitions between paragraphs, prompting you to think whether they make sense within your argument.

Engaging Interactions

There’s a reason why AI remains popular; it has a level of interaction that doesn’t happen when you’re just searching for sources or reading an article. Receiving writing help from an AI means it’s identifying what you’re writing and connecting that to what you ask of it. If you prompt the assistant to evaluate whether a paragraph reflects your thesis, the AI will give you specific details and suggestions. Rereading your work isn’t likely to do this because you’re used to your writing, and the AI will respond to what you ask.

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.

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:

  • 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.

  • We never share your research and writing data with third parties

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 Litero AI writing assistant guarantee higher grades for my academic work?

We cannot guarantee specific grades, as evaluation is subjective and varies by institution. However, our AI writing assistant provides comprehensive writing help by refining your paper, enhancing its clarity, grammar, and style, to help you present your work professionally and effectively.

No, our AI writing assistant does not write papers or complete content for you. It serves as a comprehensive writing tool to support your own writing process.
