Paper Buddy

Paper Buddy is an ethical AI writing assistant tailored for students, particularly those in college facing demanding academic papers, emphasizing guidance over automation to foster genuine learning and expression. Built using the Lovable platform, it allows users to manage classes and assignments by incorporating teacher preferences and instructions, such as required positives, negatives, and paper length. Users can import sources via URLs or PDFs, generating customizable summaries—from simplified 'explain like I'm five' to detailed technical breakdowns—and directly mapping how each source aligns with assignment requirements, including interactive chatting with sources for deeper understanding. The tool excels in outline creation, suggesting ideas, structure, and source integrations to build a strong framework without writing content. During the writing phase, it provides detailed prompts and concepts to kickstart paragraphs ethically, ensuring originality, followed by preview, rubric-based review for alignment, and easy export options. Ideal for subjects like psychology or social sciences, Paper Buddy transforms overwhelming writing tasks into structured, educational experiences, helping users think clearer and express ideas effectively while avoiding plagiarism pitfalls.
