AI for student research that cites what it uses.
Turn a reading list and an assignment into a sourced draft. Read your course material with per-file summaries, research beyond the syllabus in a notebook, and keep a citation on every claim so the bibliography builds itself as you write.
What you can do
Four moves, one workspace.
The concrete work behind "ai for student research" — not a feature list.
Study the source material properly
Bring in your course readings and lecture material and use the per-file summaries and key concepts to understand a topic before you write about it.
Research the assignment
Open a notebook, pull in papers and articles beyond your course pack, and draft a synthesis that surfaces where sources agree and disagree.
Keep every claim linked to a citation
Each point in the draft carries a reference back to its source, so a bibliography is built as you go, not reconstructed the night before it's due.
Search across everything you've read
Semantic search over your course material, your own notes and what you've researched — find the quote without re-reading the whole reading list.
What it reads against
Education work is only as good as its sources.
The reference collections this job draws on. Each is a page you can open and read before you trust a single answer.
What a programme actually teaches, read from the institution rather than a directory's summary of it.
Product manuals and book-length texts read page by page — including the ones published only as documents.
Open-access research read in full — with the datasets a finding rests on kept alongside the write-up.
The settled account of a subject, read from the maintained entry rather than a copy of it.
Collections are libraries the workspaces read from, kept as what they are rather than flattened into one pile. See the full collection breakdown.

What it looks like end to end.
Essay from source to citation
Read the assigned material with per-file summaries, research beyond the reading list in a notebook, and draft the essay with a citation on every claim ready to check against your course's referencing style.
Exam-week catch-up
Pull everything scoped to a unit — your course material and what you've researched around it — into one search, instead of hunting across a term's worth of tabs and PDFs.
Questions
Frequently asked.
- Can askFinz help me research and write an essay with proper citations?
- Yes. A research notebook drafts a synthesis from the sources you bring in or gather, and keeps a citation on every claim, so you can check and format each reference rather than reconstructing your bibliography afterwards.
- Does it work with my actual course material?
- Yes. Learn reads material synced from your course — lectures, slides and readings — and produces summaries and study tools grounded in what your class actually covers.
- Will using this count as plagiarism?
- askFinz cites its sources rather than hiding them, but the essay you submit is still your own work to write and check against your institution's academic-integrity policy — treat it as a research and drafting aid, not a substitute for doing the assignment.
