Five steps from topic to submission
A guided workflow that keeps you moving forward without skipping the hard thinking.
- 01
Topic
Narrow a broad field into a researchable question with scope, novelty, and feasibility checks.
- 02
Research
Curate sources from ResearchLib and the open web; cluster themes; extract metadata; fact-check claims.
- 03
Data
Import datasets, run statistical analyses, generate charts, with interpretation required before insertion.
- 04
Writing
Effort-locked drafting expands your bullets into paragraphs; contributions are labeled per paragraph.
- 05
Submission
Compliance gates, integrity report, and a one-click PDF export ready for your supervisor.
The team
Six bounded AI agents, each a specialist
Each agent has a narrow scope, a tool belt of 6 to 20 tools, and guardrails that protect academic integrity.
Statistics
Recommends statistical tests based on your data shape, runs parametric and nonparametric analyses, and generates publication-ready charts.
Drafting
Expands your bullet points into coherent paragraphs. Effort locks forbid one-click generation — your voice stays in the writing.
Editing
Grammar, style, citation sync, and TOC generation. Always previews changes before applying, with one-tap revert.
Integrity
Similarity, originality, bias, and fabricated-citation detection. Blocks finalization until every integrity check passes.
Coordination
Coordinates all agents, enforces gates between phases, and maintains a full audit trail of every action and approval.
Sources Curator Agent
A research librarian that never sleeps
Drop in a topic and the Sources Curator Agent scans ResearchLib and the open web for relevant papers, pre-prints, theses, and datasets. It dedupes, extracts metadata, ranks by relevance and recency, and builds you a starter library in minutes — every entry traceable to its origin.
- Cross-source deduplication with DOI and title fingerprinting
- Automatic metadata extraction — authors, venue, year, abstract
- Relevance ranking with explainable scoring
- Open-access preference toggle
Deep Research Agent
Multi-hop research that follows the trail
Give the Deep Research Agent a single question and it runs a multi-hop trace — breaking the question into sub-queries, reading the results, identifying gaps, and following citation chains until the evidence converges. You get a synthesized brief with every step of the trail visible and reviewable.
- Multi-hop decomposition with explainable sub-queries
- Citation chain following — forward and backward
- Gap detection — surfaces what is missing
- Reviewable trail — every claim linked to its source
Full Writing Agent
Drafted with you, not for you
The Full Writing Agent takes your outline, your notes, and your sources and produces a structured draft section by section — but it is effort-locked. Each paragraph is labeled as Student-Authored, AI-Assisted, or Quoted, and the Effort Balance Index updates in real time so you always know how much of the chapter is genuinely yours.
- Section-by-section drafting from your outline
- Effort-locked — no one-click chapter generation
- Per-paragraph contribution labels
- Live Effort Balance Index per chapter
Source Library
An in-app e-reader for every source you collect
Read, highlight, annotate, and cite — without ever leaving ResearchFlow.
In-app e-reader
Read PDFs and web sources in a built-in reader with highlight, note, and bookmark tools. Annotations sync to your outline automatically.
Citation export
Export any source to APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE in one tap. Citation metadata is verified before it lands in your bibliography.
Source picker
When the Drafting Agent proposes a claim, it surfaces candidate sources from your library. You pick the one that fits — no citation is added without your approval.
Writing Editor
A writing surface built for academic work
Rich text, inline LaTeX, a chart builder, and image uploads — all in one editor that auto-saves every keystroke and keeps a full version history. The toolbar stays out of your way until you need it, and every paragraph can be tagged with its contribution label.
- Rich text with headings, lists, tables, and callouts
- Inline LaTeX rendering for equations and symbols
- Built-in chart builder with 12 chart types
- Image upload with caption and figure numbering
Data Analysis
14 statistical tests, one guided workflow
Upload a CSV, let the Analysis Agent recommend the right test, and produce a publication-ready chart. You write the interpretation before the result is inserted.

Collaboration
Bring your supervisor into the draft
Share a project with your supervisor with read or comment permissions. They can leave inline annotations, resolve threads, and join a live meeting mode where you walk through the draft together in real time. Every comment is timestamped and tied to a paragraph — no more email chains with confusing attachment versions.
- Share with supervisor — read or comment permissions
- Live meeting mode with shared cursor and voice
- Inline annotations tied to paragraphs
- Resolved-thread tracking with audit history
Compliance
Integrity gates that protect your defense
The Compliance Agent runs four checks before you can finalize. If any fails, you fix it first.
Similarity check
Compares every paragraph against public sources and your own previous work. Reports a per-paragraph similarity score with the matched text highlighted.
14% — within thresholdOriginality
Detects patterns consistent with AI-only generation — flat perplexity, repetitive structure, and absence of personal voice. Flags paragraphs that need rewriting.
8% — within thresholdBias detection
Scans language for gendered, cultural, or leading-word bias. Suggests neutral alternatives inline and explains why a phrase may be read as biased.
3% — within thresholdCitation validation
Verifies every in-text citation against a real source and flags fabricated references. Cross-checks the bibliography against the body — both directions.

FAQ
Questions about ResearchFlow
Real answers to the questions students ask before they sign up.
Is the writing really mine, or does the AI write the whole thing?
The Drafting Agent is effort-locked. It expands your bullet points into paragraphs, but it never writes a chapter from a single prompt. An Effort Balance Index shows your contribution vs AI assistance per chapter, and every paragraph carries a label: Student-Authored, AI-Assisted, or Quoted.
How does Flow handle citations and references?
The Editing Agent syncs in-text citations to your bibliography in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE. The Compliance Agent also validates every citation against real sources and flags fabricated references before you can finalize.
Can my supervisor see what I am working on?
Yes. You can share a project with your supervisor with read or comment permissions. They can leave inline annotations, resolve threads, and view the audit trail of agent actions. A live meeting mode supports real-time co-presence during reviews.
What kinds of statistical analyses are supported?
The Analysis Agent supports 14 test types including t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, regression, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and more. It recommends the right test based on your data shape, runs it, and produces a chart. You must write the interpretation before the result is inserted into your paper.
Do I need to install anything to use Flow?
No. Flow runs entirely in your browser, mobile-native first. It works offline with queued operations that sync when you reconnect. There is nothing to download, install, or update.
What happens to my data and my sources?
Your data is yours. Every source you upload, every note you take, and every draft you write is stored against your account with full export rights. We never train models on your private content, and you can request a full data export at any time.
