What is Scite Ai?
Scite is an artificial intelligence company founded in 2020 that focuses on developing writing assistant software to help people write better. Their flagship product is an AI writing assistant plugin that integrates directly into Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
The Scite plugin uses advanced natural language processing models to provide real-time writing suggestions as you type. This includes grammar and spelling corrections, rephrasing for clarity and concision, adjusting tone and formality, finding and fixing biases or insensitive language, and automatically generating citations.
Some key features of Scite's writing assistant include:
- Grammar error detection and correction for issues like misspellings, punctuation mistakes, subject-verb agreement problems, run-on sentences, etc.
- Rephrasing and simplification to improve readability, reduce wordiness, and increase clarity
- Tone adjustments to make text more formal, casual, or professional as needed
- Citation recommendations by automatically detecting information that should be cited
- Bias checking to flag potentially insensitive phrases and offer alternative wording
- Summarization to create concise overviews of long content
- Readability scoring to indicate how easy your writing is to understand
By using the latest AI models like GPT-3, Scite's writing assistant plugin provides personalized, context-aware suggestions tailored to an individual's writing style and goals. The technology is designed to enhance human writing rather than fully automate the process. Scite is available as a free or paid subscription for Docs and Word.
