Jenni

Jenni is an AI workspace built for students, researchers, and academics to read, write, and cite sources. It functions as an intelligent academic writing and research assistant that helps create essays, papers, and citations. The platform features an AI autocomplete tool that suggests sentences grounded in real papers, traceable inline citations, and an AI chat tool that reads a user's library to answer research questions.

• Smart AI autocomplete that suggests sentences grounded in real papers and curates content from a user's library.
• Traceable inline citations that link AI-suggested sentences to exact pages and paragraphs in source PDFs.
• AI chat tool that reads a full library to answer research questions, explain methods, and compare findings across papers.
• Source-grounded writing capability allowing users to upload PDFs or import collections from Zotero and Mendeley.
• Academic search functionality spanning over 200 million to 248 million papers across Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, and CrossRef.
• Support for over 10,000 citation styles including APA 7th, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, and journal-specific formats.
• Export options supporting formats such as .docx, LaTeX, HTML, .ris, .bib, and .csv depending on the plan.

Pros

• Enables literature reviews and paper drafting by tying every AI-generated claim directly to verifiable sources in uploaded libraries.
• Offers broad reference management compatibility through direct imports from Zotero and Mendeley alongside drag-and-drop PDF uploads.
• Provides multi-database academic search capabilities directly within the workspace across Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, and CrossRef.

Cons

• The Free tier restricts users to 10 AI autocompletes per day, 10 PDF uploads, 3 AI edits, and 5 AI chat messages.
• PDF uploads on the Free plan are capped at a maximum file size of 25MB and 150 pages.
• Document exports on the Free tier are limited to body content only rather than full content.

Jenni fits students, researchers, and academic writers who need an integrated workspace to handle literature reviews, manage PDFs, and write cited papers. It is well-suited for academic workflows requiring precise inline citations and strict source grounding. It is a poor fit for general creative or non-academic writers who do not require academic search databases, PDF reference libraries, or formal citation styles.

Jenni operates on a freemium model with a free tier and two paid tiers billed in USD. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 10 AI autocompletes per day, 10 PDF uploads capped at 25MB and 150 pages, 3 AI edits, 5 AI chat messages, 3 reviews, 10,000+ citation styles, unlimited citations, and body-content-only document export. The Plus plan costs $12 per month and includes 5,000 autocompletes per month, unlimited PDF uploads capped at 100MB and 500 pages, 500 AI edits per month, 500 AI chat messages per month, 10 reviews per month, access to latest features, full document export, and live chat support. The Pro plan costs $29 per month and includes unlimited AI autocompletes, unlimited PDF uploads capped at 100MB and 1,000 pages, unlimited AI edits, unlimited AI chat messages, unlimited reviews, access to latest features, full document export, and priority support.

Unlike generic writing chatbots, Jenni is a purpose-built academic writing environment where AI, sources, and user arguments work together. Rather than drawing exclusively from general web training data, Jenni's autocomplete can draw specifically from a user's curated library of uploaded PDFs and imported references. Every claim generated by the system includes traceable inline citations that link back to the exact location in the original source document.
