Yomu - AI Tools Nav

What it is for

Yomu is a citation-backed academic writing workspace: draft in the editor, cite in 700+ styles, chat with PDFs, and run an originality check. Use it when the job is write the paper with sources in one app, not when you need a Word / Overleaf language overlay.

What makes it unique: the cover is Yomu’s own homepage editor still — Documents / Library / Chat, a cited draft, and Document AI — not a wordmark.

Key features

In-editor draft assistance — Document Assistant, autocomplete, and edit commands (paraphrase, expand, shorten, summarize, bullets-to-prose) sit on one write stream. Full Text / Outline first drafts are the same write job (another start) (yomu.ai; llms.txt).
Citations — in-text citations and a bibliography in 700+ styles, powered by Sourcely, plus DOI import (homepage). A cite job, not another paragraph.
Personal library — save sources and reuse them across documents (homepage “Save sources to your personal library”).
Research chat — ask over PDFs, images, web search, academic mode, and the library (academic-research-workspace). Q&A, not the editor cursor.
Originality check — built-in plagiarism review before you submit (llms.txt; Ethics Statement). Integrity, not a draft.

Figures / tables, grammar chips, Get Feedback / Ask AI, and model names are editor chrome or SKU.

Who it's for

Best fit: students drafting an essay or thesis who will pay Pro when free chat is not enough.
