The co-writer

AI that suggests.
You decide.

Other tools rewrite your work behind your back. On OrbitSub, every AI edit arrives as a diff — you see exactly what changes, then apply or discard it. Your name is on the research; your judgement stays in it.

  • A capable AI co-writer, built right into your draft
  • Cites real scholarly sources for your claims (via Crossref)
  • Reads your PDFs, images, and notes as context
  • In live rooms the AI proposes to the whole team — any admin approves

Structured reviews

A reviewer, before the reviewers.

Run your draft through structured AI reviews and get findings you can act on — jump to the passage, add a suggested source, or fix a sentence with a diff you approve.

  • Claim check — every claim rated solid, needs-a-source, or doubtful
  • Source suggestions — real web sources for your weakest claims
  • Peer review — strengths, weaknesses, and the one revision that matters
  • Clarity — flagged sentences with tighter rewrites
