Is there mobile support?

There is no native iOS or Android app. Jenni is a web app that works in mobile browsers, but the editor is optimized for desktop.

Is Jenni multilingual?

Yes — Jenni can write and cite in multiple languages, though quality and citation formatting are strongest in English. Non-English source PDFs are supported.

A citation is a reference to a source that supports a claim. Jenni auto-formats them in 10,000+ styles (APA, Chicago, IEEE, etc.) and links each one to the exact page in your PDF.

Are citations up to date?

Jenni pulls metadata from CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar, so citations reflect the latest published record. You should still spot-check retractions and preprint status before submission.

Which AI models does Jenni use?

Jenni runs on a mix of commercial LLMs (OpenAI GPT-4-class and Anthropic Claude models) plus proprietary retrieval and citation-verification layers. The exact model stack evolves, so no fixed version is guaranteed.

Product information

Everything worth knowing about Jenni

The complete picture — from everyday features to the technical detail builders and IT folks dig for.

Core features

What it actually does

Traceable citations

Every AI-suggested sentence links to the exact page and paragraph in your source PDF, so you can verify any claim in one click instead of trusting a chatbot.

Library-wide AI chat

Ask questions across your whole library — understand a methods section, compare findings, or find which paper covers a concept — and get answers with citations back to your sources.

Research discovery

Semantic search across a 200M+ paper academic index (Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, CrossRef) without leaving the editor; add and cite sources, plus read 10m+ open-access full texts in-tab.

Reviews

Scans every claim in your draft against your sources and flags issues across six categories — misrepresented, contradicted, unsupported, weakly supported, overstated — plus academic proofreading with inline feedback.

Technical capabilities

Source-grounded autocomplete

AI autocomplete draws exclusively from your curated library rather than generic web or training data, and you control which sources inform each section.

Code execution in chat

AI Chat runs code to perform calculations and analyse data, so numeric results come from executed code rather than generated text.

Figure and table cross-references

Insert in-text references to figures and tables that update automatically as documents are edited, moved, or reordered.

The Dark Reality of Academia in the Age of AI

Join the Jenni community today at http://jenni.ai/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode_3 🎙️ What does academia look like in the age of AI and where is it headed next? In Episode 3 of the Jenni AI Podcast, we step back from the tools and policies to talk about the bigger picture: the changing reality of academic life, whether universities are losing their relevance, and how AI is reshaping the way we think about education, research, and expertise. We also get into the less visible side of academia: the pressure to publish, uncertainty around career paths, competition, burnout, and the mental strain that can come with working and studying in the field. If AI can help people learn, write, and research faster than ever before, what does that mean for traditional universities? Does it make higher education less necessary, or does it make the role of universities even more important? And as academia continues to change, how do we make sure the people within it aren't left behind? In this episode, we talk candidly about where academia stands today, the pressures researchers and students face, and what the future of higher education might look like in an AI-powered world.

How to Find a Research Gap with AI 🖋

Join the Jenni community today at http://jenni.ai/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=promo&utm_content=researchgapanalysis 🖋️ - Finding a research gap usually means reading through dozens (sometimes hundreds) of papers before you even know where to look. Jenni’s Research Gap Analysis maps what’s known, what’s disputed, and what’s still missing in your topic. Enter a topic and Jenni searches the academic literature alongside your own library, extracts the key claims, and organizes them into categories such as well-supported, contested, and under-explored. From there, you can see which papers support each claim, which ones challenge it, and where the strongest gaps in the literature may be. For every gap, Jenni can also suggest a possible research direction - including questions or studies that could help address it - while showing you what was searched and where further investigation may still be needed. Turn months of reading into a clearer map of the field, the evidence, and the questions worth pursuing next. Research Gap Analysis is now available in Jenni Workflows.

AI Literature Review Tool: Search, Cite & Write in One Workflow

Join the Jenni community today at http://jenni.ai/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=promo&utm_content=workflows_literature_review 🖋️ - Research tools often stop being useful the moment you export your work. With Jenni Workflows, you can turn a research question into a structured working draft while keeping your sources, citations, and research context connected. The Literature Review workflow lets you search across 250M+ research papers, your own library, or a collection you already trust — then synthesizes that literature into an editable document with citations placed directly alongside the claims they support. Trace citations back to their sources, reformat references in just a few clicks, explore specific literature further through chat, and save relevant papers directly to your library. The goal isn’t to generate a finished chapter for you. It’s to give you a clearer view of the field, the conversations already happening, and the gaps worth writing into. Kickstart your next chapter with Jenni today. - This video is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

No — Jenni's autocomplete generates original sentences grounded in your uploaded sources, with inline citations. But you are still responsible for verifying claims and running your own plagiarism check; AI output can accidentally overlap with source phrasing.
