AI-coached academic writing, with integrity
Kantoku is a writing editor for academics and serious writers. The AI coaches you with questions and observations — it never writes for you. Your words stay yours.
Coaching, not ghostwriting
The AI asks targeted questions about clarity, argument, and structure. It points out gaps and reflects your intent back to you. It never generates text for insertion.
Full revision history
Every save creates a git commit. You have a complete, immutable audit trail proving the work is human-authored. Compare any two revisions with side-by-side diffs.
Markdown & LaTeX native
Write in the formats academics actually use. Full syntax highlighting, live preview with KaTeX math rendering, and a clean, distraction-free editor.
How coaching works
Select a passage in your document and press Ctrl+K to request coaching.
The AI reads your text and responds with questions and observations — "What's the main claim in this paragraph?" or "Your second and third sections seem to overlap."
You revise based on your own thinking. The AI helped you see the problem; you decide the solution.
