there are so many AI writing apps but only a handful that are specifically designed for researchers and academics and here are my favorites the first one you need to know about is payer palal now with payer palal when you sort of like sign up to their subscription you also get all of these other things but it's important that they do have kind of a semi writing service okay this means that they can provide structures they can provide sort of hints but they don't explicitly write stuff for you but show you why I think this is
an AI writer because when you click here onto new web document it'll take you to this normal like word processing layout and here it says start typing or pasting text now paper pal really is about editing but I'll show you across here where we've got all these other options all these other options mean that we have the ability to create templates and when we have templates we got outlines outlines for a research article case report essay statement of purpose and this is where the AI writer component really really helps academics look at all of the
different things you can do here um so let's say I want to start a research article I click up here I say I want the introduction and I'm in these uh areas so I'm in uh physical sciences and I want to say Okay I want to start a research article about transparent electrodes okay so two two words let's see what it does with two words ensure that your text contain contains a minimum of 10 words okay so that's what I really want eight uh oh um uh novel materials there we are gotcha so generate there
and so one thing I like about this is that uh it doesn't do all of the stuff for you it's an important part of the writing process which is the first step of creating a structure from which you can sort of like build upon so here we are this is all of the stuff that it sort of like said I should include in the introduction so let's just write introduction here as a little um placeholder donk and then underneath I'm going to say insert so here we are this is the introduction so it's saying I
need something like talking about how transparent electrodes have gained significant attention in recent years then the development of transparent electrod is crucial for the crucial for the advancement of opv devices flexible displays blah blah blah blah blah all of that stuff is really important this is the structure that you should follow when writing an academic introduction and you can see it's just giving me you know little options to build upon and so here it says what are the properties and performance of transparent electrod materials uh used in op devices and flexible display so here it's
asking me like what is my actual research question what my aim and objective is and my hypothesis is at the end of that so this is how I would use this as an AI writer you can see you've got a load of other options as well we got case reports essay statement of purpose We can brainstorm so here it says um like I need something I don't know quite what I need there's nothing more intimidating than like a blank page so here we've got all of the brainstorming option how can paper pal help okay or
de voices there we go okay so brainstorm now it's going to go away and it's going to brainstorm ideas for me and here we are this is where it's a great writing tool because it doesn't give you like the text because let's face it we can all be a little bit lazy and if it just spills out text it's so easy just to copy and paste it across and be like o I'm done you can even convince yourself that you're done even though you know you should go through it read it um put in citations
references paraphrase it for your own work all of that sort of stuff but we don't because we're lazy so here this is sort of like not allowing you to cheat so here we are that's how we can use uh payer palal as an AI writer for Academia we can also see we've got title abstract keyword summary study highlights email and also if your emailing a particular Journal you've got all of the options down here absolutely love it I would use this as a first Port of core for creating the template that I would use to
write any sort of like academic document and even emails to a journal so that's payer palal what's next you'll like it the next tool is jenny. a now jenny. has gone through a load of iterations over the last year they've really cleaned up the interface and I love what they're doing at the moment here is the interface when you log in you click create a new document this is what we've got it says what are you writing today and it asks you to give you a prompt and it will tell you here whether or not
it's a week prompt or a good prompt so let's start writing and see if we can get it to sort of like kick out something that's incredibly useful for us to build upon 5 hours later more people okay great prompt thanks Jenny here we are start writing literature review the attractiveness of beards on YouTube and here we are this is where now Jenny sort of like starts to come into its own because it starts spilling out stuff and saying do you want this do you want this do you want this it can be a little
bit overwhelming in my experience but here we are we can just accept that and it's already given us a reference down here and uh it is a really great way there we are now it's given me more and I can accept that um it's just a way of like putting you in the driver's seat by giving you options about what to include and what not to include um once we sort of like have a look at this um there are loads of AI commands down here we've got continue writing WR introduction WR conclusion WR opposing
arguments write more with more depth and we've got AI chat now one thing I would do over here first of all before I do anything is ask AI chat that ask Jenny to generate an outline for me okay here is the output here's everything I would want to put into this particular document so I'm going to copy and paste it here and then you can see I've then now got a structure introduction a and then I've got the role of YouTube in shaping Beauty and grooming standards um and then I've got the sort of different
sort of uh ways that I could structure it so that a was meant to be there overview of the importance and then saying B the concept so I like to sort of like just put this into bullet points that I can then build out on which is just such a great way to start yourself thinking not only about the structure but also how the story of a particular bit of academic writing will flow you start Broad and you get narrower and narrower so the fact that this spills out information is really important but getting um
you know asked Jenny to create a structure is just as important in those early stages and you can see I've already now got a um structure that I can build upon continue writing Jenny is rting there we are here we go so it's going it's going so with the settings you do have the ability to turn it into a tool so that you are working at your best I would probably initially turn off auto complete um and just work on that broader structure and then putting in my own words and then using AI commands to
get all of the different uh sort of like enrichments to my text and then also using the site option this site option is really great because it means that you don't have to go to something like SI space or anything like that to um oh no that's not what I want perception of beers in different culture now it's saying State University of New York learning how to apply lipstick and set their hair in curlers from their mothers what most boys grew up learning okay well that's kind of on track but not quite so you can
add citations you can do stuff um that just makes writing so much easier and dare I say it almost fun another toour you should know about is yomu yomu AI is very much like Jenny AI here we can create a new document and here's it slightly different and it does ask you to create a structure as you are sort of like setting up your document which I really like oh why can't I spell today okay there we are and then I've got outline and ideas yes that's exactly what I want oh I can only click
one what do I want what do I want I want outline so now it's going away and it's creating that uh first draft structure for me and that was very very quick you can see that it's quite um a significant amount of text and structure the science behind beard smell and its impact on attractiveness culture and historical perspective on beards and their smells stayed very very much on brief and it's given me a chance to kind of get that structure in place early on and so now when I start writing I can Su document AI
write an introduction so yomu is writing now it's writing an introduction where it says this you can see it's quite a big um amount of text really CU Jenny was sort of like you know sentence by sentence by sentence and it can be hard to kind of like keep track of the overall theme of what you're writing when it's just spilling stuff out but here it's got much bigger sort of like text blocks that it's generating and overall I think it's done a really fantastic job at sort of like that first draft so here I
like it I haven't seen anywhere where I can put in references like in Jenny but I can export into latex Microsoft Word where I can add my own references later using zoto or mlay or something like like that um and you have got all of the different kind of options for sharing saving and creating a custom style so overall this is a great tool if you just want to sort of like get that first draft out of the way and then you can work on refining it with other tools a little bit after if you
