“The Thinking Scaffold” - Beating the blank page without cheating
TOOLS:
1. Outline Generator
It is the heart of SmartEssay.AI Tell it your assignment, paste the teacher prompt (or let it decode it into plain English), set paragraph count or word target, and drop in your sources. It builds a precise outline with the right number of body paragraphs, evidence requirements, and live word counts — then coaches you section by section using sentence frames and graphic-organizer-style structure.
You do the thinking and writing. It provides the scaffold, real quotes when you need them, and gentle nudges.
Key Modes
Essay mode — Claim-Evidence-Reasoning outlines + full sample option
Summary mode — Structured APA 7 peer-reviewed article summaries (Intro, Participants, Measurement, Results, Critique)
Key Concepts mode — Thematic maps with definitions
How it works (step-by-step)
Paste or dictate the teacher prompt → one-click plain-English translation
Set requirements (paragraphs, word count, evidence per claim)
Drop sources (PDF, DOCX, TXT, or typed) — auto-extracted
Generate tailored outline with frames
Draft section-by-section with live coaching, word count, and source-aware suggestions

2. Essay Reviewer
Already have a draft? Make it stronger with real evidence.
Upload any draft (text or file). SmartEssay analyzes it paragraph-by-paragraph, maps the logical flow, identifies evidence gaps, and — when you provide sources — pulls word-for-word quotes with proper MLA or APA 7 citations to fill those gaps. It also gives prioritized, concrete improvement suggestions (never vague “make it stronger”).
How it works
Paste or upload your draft (.txt, .md, .pdf, .docx)
(Optional) Add your source material
Get: Evidence gap report with real quotes + citations, logical flow map, ranked improvement list
Revise directly or copy suggestions back into the Tutor

2. The Tutor
Your personal writing coach that helps you think — without writing the essay for you.
The Tutor turns confusing assignments into clear, step-by-step plans. It creates custom outlines based on exactly what your teacher wants (number of paragraphs, word count, and evidence needed), then walks you through each section using sentence frames and structured guidance so you do the actual thinking and writing.
It’s designed to help students learn how to write strong essays. No full paragraphs or essays are generated for you in tutor mode — only scaffolds, real quotes, and coaching.
