Using ThesisAI for a research draft

Start with a focused question and a reading list you have already assessed. For example, ask for a literature-review section comparing the methods and limitations in those papers, then check whether the draft represents disagreements fairly. This is a suggested workflow, not a test result.

Keep your notes separate from generated prose, verify every quotation and reference, and add your own analysis before using the draft. Follow your institution or publisher’s AI policy and disclose assistance when required. ThesisAI’s terms prohibit presenting generated output as unaided human writing or producing work for someone else to submit as their own.

For assistant-based workflows, the official MCP guide describes source uploads, document generation, source-passage searches and LaTeX recompilation. Generation uses document credits; this is not an unlimited writing feature.

Download the source files and finished documents you need to keep: the provider says files may be deleted 180 days after creation. Review its published example documents before deciding whether the output format suits your workflow; they are provider examples, not independent benchmarks.
