🎓 What Are Study Tools for College Students?
Imagine being able to study smarter and achieving academic success with no trouble.
How, you ask? With the help of study tools! Whether you’re stuck generating ideas or editing your work, they have got you covered. So, let’s explore the power of study tools and see how they can take your writing to the next level.
Online study tools are digital resources that can help students improve their learning experience. They come in the form of software, apps, and websites. When it comes to academic writing, study tools can assist with the following tasks:
Using study tools in writing can help simplify and streamline the process, making it more efficient. But so can ChatGPT! Here’s why:
ChatGPT uses deep learning to understand and generate text. It is trained on an enormous corpus of text data which helped it learn the underlying structure and patterns of the language. Using this knowledge, ChatGPT grasps the meaning of words and entire texts with remarkable precision.
Let’s see if it can beat popular free tools at paraphrasing, summarizing, and text prediction.
🖥️ ChatGPT vs. Paraphraser Websites
Paraphrasing is an essential skill in academic writing. It allows you to express someone else’s ideas in your own words while preserving the original meaning. Instead of directly quoting a source, paraphrasing will enable you to integrate the source smoothly into your writing and maintain your own perspective as the primary focus.
When paraphrasing, it’s essential to cite the source and be cautious not to use wording that is too similar to the original; otherwise, it can lead to plagiarism.
If you are looking for a study tool to help you paraphrase, look no further. We’ve tested the most popular paraphraser tools: Quillbot, Paraphraser.io, and Duplichecker, and compared them to ChatGPT. So, let’s figure out which tool for students is the best in 2024!
But first, here are the key takeaways:
🚀 How ChatGPT is better than paraphrasing tools
- It does a great job at replacing words with suitable synonyms.
- There are endless possibilities for customizing the results.
- ChatGPT can alter complex sentence structures in ways that sound natural.
🚀 How paraphrasing tools are better than ChatGPT
- Most popular tools have an intuitive interface. They are easier to operate than explaining your task to a chatbot.
Quillbot Paraphraser
QuillBot is an AI-powered paraphraser tool designed to improve the writing process in several ways. Aside from paraphrasing, it also offers a plagiarism checker, citation generator, and other helpful features. With just one click, it promises to scan your writing and generate a text with appropriate vocabulary, grammar, and style.
Advantages:
✅ It has a very user-friendly interface with plenty of features that help customize the text.
✅ It changes not only the words but also sentence structures.
✅ It marks the parts of the text that were changed or left untouched.
✅ It has a built-in thesaurus—you can edit and customize all changes if necessary.
✅ It offers results of superior quality with 0% plagiarism.
Disadvantages:
❌ We found several mistakes, such as “focused with a project” (check out the examples section further down the webpage to see the paraphrased text in full.) You can fix these errors manually.
❌ The biggest drawback is that it only allows you to paraphrase texts no longer than 125 words. This is not nearly enough for a tool capable of such outstanding results.
❌ In our opinion, some crucial features are still missing. For example, you cannot automatically change 1st-person text into the 3rd-person if you need to. You’ll still have to adjust some of the aspects manually.
Our verdict:
Quillbot is a great paraphraser website that produces very good, customized text which is 100% original. Unfortunately, the word limit is too low. Also, it could benefit from some more advanced functions.
Paraphraser.io Paraphrasing Tool
According to Paraphraser.io’s website, its Paraphrasing Tool generates readable and grammatically correct texts with the help of an advanced AI algorithm. It does it in a way that feels like natural human speech. In the end, you will get a plagiarism-free result in seconds.
Advantages:
✅ This tool has several useful functions, such as summarizing and checking plagiarism and grammar. You can access all of them once you get the paraphrased text.
✅ There is also a built-in thesaurus, where you can select which word variants to use.
✅ It changes some sentence structures.
✅ It achieves a decent level of readability without plagiarizing.
Disadvantages:
❌ There are serious typos in the paraphrased text, which you can check out in full in the examples section below. For instance, the tool used the pronoun “him” when referring to a novel, changing the novel’s name in the process (“He called him “Savior”.) It then changed the half of the verbs from the past tense into the present tense. Mistakes like this probably happen when the tool tries to change sentence structures.
❌ There are not enough free features for customizing the results: only the thesaurus is free of charge.
❌ There is also an article rewriter tool available on the website. Technically it’s a paraphraser, too, but the results it produced were very disappointing, with nonsensical sentences such as “but the drawings I’d visible and the books I studied had been best training for something much more compelling.”
Our verdict:
Paraphrase.io’s Paraphrasing Tool is an average-quality generator with some helpful features. We recommend using this tool and avoiding the article rewriter on the website.
DupliChecker Paraphrasing Tool
DupliChecker’s paraphrasing tool can rewrite any academic text. It also has plagiarism and grammar check functions, which are popular among university students. It also offers a premium AI rephraser, but unfortunately, we didn’t test it as we’re only interested in the tool’s free-of-charge features.
Advantages:
✅ DupliChecker tool has two modes: a Smart Spin (which alters 70-75% of words) and an Ultra Spin (which changes 90% of words).
✅ It has a 2000-word limit, which is quite a lot.
✅ This paraphrasing tool has a built-in plagiarism and grammar check.
✅ It also has a built-in thesaurus, so you can change the words manually if necessary.
Disadvantages:
❌ The tool has few features if you compare it with similar services.
❌ It produces a low-quality result. The final text (which you can find on this webpage below) sounds bookish, outdated, and nonsensical, with “times agone” and “medication” as synonyms for “years ago” and “preparation.” The thesaurus’ suggestions didn’t improve it, either.
❌ There is not much difference between the Smart Spin and the Ultra Spin. The results were almost identical, and it could’ve been better both times.
❌ As usual, it could’ve used more advanced functions.
Our verdict:
While testing the tool, we were pleasantly surprised by the generous word limit. Unfortunately, the paraphrased text’s quality was pretty low.
ChatGPT Paraphrasing
ChatGPT can paraphrase texts of any kind with 100% original results. You can specify the tone, style, vocabulary, or any other feature of the rephrased text. To do that, you write a command, “Paraphrase the text.” Then you copy the source and insert it into the chat box.
We wanted to know how ChatGPT paraphrases texts, so we asked it to explain it to us. Here is the answer we’ve got:
Example:
One of the main techniques I use for paraphrasing is called phrase replacement. This involves identifying important phrases in the text and then replacing them with synonyms or rephrasing them in a way that preserves their meaning while changing their wording.
Another technique I use is called lexical substitution, which is replacing words in the text with synonyms to make the text more diverse in terms of vocabulary, but still conveying the same meaning.
I also use techniques like grammatical restructuring, which involves changing the grammatical structure of the text, and sentence fusion and splitting— a way of combining or separating sentences to create a new sentence structure.
Impressive, right? Let’s take a closer look at the chatbot’s advantages and disadvantages as a paraphrasing tool.
Advantages:
✅ The software produces rephrased texts of outstanding quality that sound very natural. Plus, the result contains 0% plagiarism.
✅ It’s excellent at altering sentence structures. For instance, it joins shorter sentences together without sacrificing coherence.
✅ There are endless possibilities for customizing your result. All you need to do is elaborate your prompt, for instance, “Paraphrase the same text in the 3rd person, and the speaker’s name is Niles Elliot Goldstein.” The tool will complete your request, as seen in the example on the webpage below. (We recommend you check out the article by Zapier to learn more about writing effective prompts.)
Disadvantages:
❌ Its interface is not very convenient for paraphrasing compared to the tools for which it’s a primary function.
❌ It is a chatbot, so if you need to alter something in the generated text, you’ll have to write a new command. It can take longer to get the result you want because, for every single customization, a prompt needs to be elaborated.
❌ You are free to experiment as much as you want, but remember that the tool has limitations. For example, we’ve tried asking it to “paraphrase the following text replacing every single noun,” and it only changed a half, saying, “if all nouns are replaced, the text may become difficult to understand.”
Our verdict:
Overall, ChatGPT produces absolutely outstanding paraphrased texts. It can be a little inconvenient because every change needs to be done through a command, but the results are worth it.
Examples of Texts Paraphrased by the Tools
During our experiment, we used snippets from Forward‘s article about Bruno Schulz’s unfinished novel to test the tools. Here’s one of the fragments that was especially tough to reword:
Bruno Schulz resonated with my soul in profound ways. But the drawings I’d seen and the books I had read were only preparation for something much more compelling. Before his tragic death a little more than 70 years ago, Schulz was working on what he considered his magnum opus, a project that would be the apex of his literary efforts. He called it “The Messiah.” Yet to this day, no one has ever found the manuscript or knows what might be contained in its pages.
Niles Elliot Goldstein
Have a look at the table below to see how the tools reworded this snippet. To make it easier to compare, we’ve marked the most questionable results in bold:
📗 ChatGPT vs. Text Summarizer Generators
Now, let’s explore the magic of text summarizer tools. This type of software can condense any text, be it a book, research paper, essay, or article, saving you hours of studying.
The summarization methods are of two types, extractive and abstractive:
Every single summarizer tool online claims to be the best. That’s why we’ve decided to test ChatGPT against Quillbot’s, Paraphraser.Io’s, and Resoomer’s text summarizers to see which one produces the most outstanding result.
Here are the key takeaways:
🚀 How ChatGPT is better than summarizing tools
- It doesn’t omit anything important when condensing texts.
- It transforms sentence structures to get rid of redundancy.
- The language is human-like and grammatically correct.
- You can customize the results by tweaking your prompts.
🚀 How summarizing tools are better than ChatGPT
- The tools have an intuitive interface that is easier to operate than the chatbot.
- Unlike ChatGPT, some tools have no word limit and can condense longer texts.
Quillbot Summarizer
QuillBot’s summarizer condenses papers, articles, and other documents to the key points. Thanks to its advanced AI, it creates very natural-sounding text while maintaining the ideas and context of the original.
Advantages:
✅ It can summarize texts in two ways: by key sentences and by paragraphs. Key sentences give you a bullet-point list of essential information. Paragraph mode summarizes the text as—you guessed it—a single paragraph.
✅ You can customize the length of your summary by using a slider.
✅ It can shorten long sentences and use only their most essential parts.
✅ There is an option to choose keywords on which the summary will focus (check out this research to learn why keywords are helpful in condensing texts.)
✅ You can reword the summary using the tool simply by clicking the “paraphrase” button.
Disadvantages:
❌ During our experiment, the tool ignored half of the sentences crucial to the overall idea.
Our verdict:
Overall, Quillbot text summarizer is a very good tool, and we liked the summary it produced. It has the additional benefit of being able to paraphrase texts. However, some aspects can still be improved.
Paraphraser.io Text Summarizer
Paraphraser.io’s AI-powered text summarizer claims to be using abstractive techniques to achieve better results. It promises to change the structure of sentences while retaining their meaning. Let’s see whether it really is that good!
Advantages:
✅ It doesn’t have a word limit, which gives it an immediate advantage over similar tools.
✅ It works not only with English texts: there are several supported languages.
✅ You can select what percentage of the text you want to be changed.
✅ You may generate the summary as a bullet points list, making it easier to get the text’s overall meaning. This option can be beneficial when working with long scientific papers or creating a PowerPoint presentation.
✅ It has features like paraphrasing, plagiarism detection, and grammar checks. All these additional aspects help improve the summary.
Disadvantages:
❌ We’ve tested this tool using longer snippets; however, the short example that you can find further on this page demonstrates its workings well enough. One important drawback is that the tool cuts off half of the sentences without mentioning what they were about. This is characteristic of the extractive approach, while the website promised us abstractive summarization.
❌ Some sentences in the summary were overly long and redundant. Ideally, such a tool should be able to remove all the unessential information and shorten sentences when necessary.
❌ Paraphraser.io also lacks the function to highlight important keywords.
❌ It works better with argumentative texts than with more creative ones, such as the one we’ve been using in our examples. Perhaps it’s easier for Paraphraser.io to find key information in texts with a clear structure.
Our verdict:
Paraphraser.io Text Summarizer’s result is average. We believe it uses only extractive techniques, despite what was mentioned on the website. However, we find it pretty neat that there’s no word limit, and the bullet point function can be handy in condensing large portions of text. Overall, we recommend using it with formal texts only.
Resoomer Summary
Resoomer is an online summary tool that can help you summarize and analyze articles effectively. It takes the essential information from your text and presents it as key points in seconds. Let’s see how good it is at its job.
Advantages:
✅ This tool also has no word limit, which is a great feature. We tried using it with very lengthy articles, and it worked every time.
✅ You don’t have to copy an entire text into the field: an URL will do.
✅ The tool can summarize texts in various languages.
✅ There are four modes—automatic, manual, optimized, and text analysis.
✅ There are features like paraphrasing, rewriting, and even translating for the final text.
✅ You can also export the resulting summary in DOC or PDF formats.
Disadvantages:
❌ As you can see in the example presented below on this webpage, the results are the same as Paraphraser.io’s. The only difference is that the previous tool allowed you to choose what percentage of text you want to retain in the summary, while Resoomer leaves out 50% by default. This is a pretty serious drawback.
❌ Once again, it is an extractive summarization tool that removes the sentences it deems unimportant. The results are pretty clunky. During our experiment, it just put together the most clearly structured sentences, leaving out the entire final part and rendering the results nonsensical.
❌ It doesn’t shorten lengthy sentences, which makes large text portions redundant.
❌ The four modes don’t make much sense. While they sound good in theory, their results are pretty similar. However, they may be handy when working with longer texts, such as research papers, where keywords are essential.
❌ It works only for argumentative texts and states so on its website’s main page. We experimented with a narrative article, and the result could’ve been more impressive. It did much better when summarizing an argumentative essay—it essentially put all topic sentences together.
Out verdict:
After testing the Resoomer tool, we weren’t impressed. It produced a low-quality summarization, and essential information from the original text was missing. Just like Paraphraser.io, it works best with longer, clearly structured texts; otherwise, it doesn’t recognize what needs to be kept or left out.
ChatGPT Summarizing
ChatGPT is excellent at generating a coherent, readable summary of any article, website page, or book chapter. It identifies the essential information from the original and condenses it while retaining its whole meaning. You only need to write a command, “Summarize the following text,” and paste the source material into the dialog box.
Curious about how it works? Check the conversation below to see ChatGPT itself explain it:
Example:
- Do you use extractive or abstractive text summarization techniques?
- My model uses a combination of both methods. Extractive methods are used to identify essential parts of the text and abstractive methods are used to generate new text that conveys the important information from the source in a more concise and coherent manner. This approach allows me to generate more human-like summaries that are more readable and coherent.
Advantages:
✅ Simply excellent quality. The resulting texts sound incredibly human-like and have a good structure. Have a look at the examples section further down on this page to see what ChatGPT capable of.
✅ It actually removes all the unnecessary information and leaves only what’s essential. It doesn’t simply cut the text but transforms it into a shorter version that retains the meaning of the original.
✅ You can ask to paraphrase the summary, and it will do so without difficulties.
✅ Manual commands make the chatbot capable of all kinds of customization— for instance, we asked it to summarize the text in 1 sentence, and it did just that. Check it out:
Example:
The author is unsure if “The Messiah” actually exists and questions if the goal is to find a physical book or a deeper desire, but is still motivated to continue the search due to the challenge and inspiration from the work of Bruno Schulz.
Disadvantages:
❌ Everything is done through commands. It can be pretty exhausting to word them in ways the chatbot understands.
❌ While it summarizes large chunks of text, it still has a word limit—we couldn’t fit the entire 3270-word article into the dialog box. According to the chat itself, the maximum number of words for an input is 2048.
❌ Again, while ChatGPT is impressive, its capabilities are limited. For instance, it makes very serious mistakes when summarizing literary texts. When we asked it to summarize Hamlet‘s Act 1, Scene 2, it mentioned that Hamlet is “visited by his two friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern,” and “is plagued by the question of whether or not his father’s ghost was real.” Here’s what it answered when we pointed out the mistakes:
Example:
- Hamlet is not visited by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern during that scene. Also, the ghost didn’t appear yet.
- You are correct that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do not visit Hamlet in Act 1, Scene 2. I apologize for that mistake. They are not introduced until Act 2, Scene 2. Also you are right that the ghost of King Hamlet hasn’t appeared yet in Act 1, Scene 2, I apologize for the confusion I’ve created.
The tool eventually generated a good summary of that chapter of Hamlet, but only after we asked it to correct it. So, it’s better not to put too much trust in ChatGPT regarding literary summaries.
Our verdict:
ChatGPT is a fantastic tool that produces excellent summaries of any length you need. The only secret is to write unambiguous commands, keep your inputs short, and avoid literary texts.
Examples of Texts Summarized by the Tools
Here’s the snippet we used to test these tools, taken from the same Forward article:
There is a part of me that believes that “The Messiah” will never be found. Too much time has passed, too many people have died, too much doubt remains. But the sheer possibility that it may exist, and the challenge and mystery of the search for it, continues to gnaw at me. The task feels almost hopeless — and yet somehow, the unfinished and fragmented masterwork of Bruno Schulz continues to animate and inspire. Ficowski died convinced of its existence, and resolute in his determination to find it. But was it the manuscript itself, or the symbolism of its subject, that drove him? Is “The Messiah” the title of a book, or the object of our most heartfelt and passionate yearning?

✍️ ChatGPT vs. Predictive Text Generation Tools
There is a new way to unleash your creativity and overcome writer’s block: advanced text continuation tools! These generators are like autocomplete but even more powerful, which makes them perfect for essay writing and other academic tasks.
Predictive text generators use machine learning to study how you write and what words and phrases you mostly use. As you type, the tool suggests what it thinks you’re most likely to type next.
But this software is great for more than just typing out messages. With advanced language models such as GPT-3, you can generate all kinds of texts: from completing sentences and continuing stories to developing code. Several cutting-edge study tools already use this technology, and we’re going to talk about them right now.
Discover the power of Quillbot Co-Writer, DeepAI, InferKit, and ChatGPT as we compare how they generate text and find out which one is the ultimate tool for generating human-like text!
Here are the key takeaways:
🚀 How ChatGPT is better than text generation tools
- It can generate longer texts on various topics.
- ChatGPT output is well-structured and uses excellent wording.
- It follows the prompt very closely.
🚀 How text generation tools are better than ChatGPT
- Software like Quillbot Co-Writer can offer several versions of generated text, making it easy to customize the results.
Quillbot Co-Writer Suggested Text
Quillbot Co-Writer is a word processor that can help you create high-quality content using the newest AI. It can paraphrase, summarize, research, write, and improve texts. This versatile tool is packed with various features that will make your writing process more efficient.
And the best part? Signing up is free and easy—you can use your Gmail or Facebook account to log in.
Advantages:
✅ The generated text is very well-written and entirely plagiarism-free. You can get a glimpse of it in the examples section down below.
✅ It allows you to choose what portions of text to generate. For instance, if you are almost done with your assignment but can’t come up with the final sentence, the tool can suggest it.
✅ It offers 2 or 3 versions of the generated text: you can select one that suits you best.
✅ The tool was able to create a pretty long string of sentences that stayed on topic.
Disadvantages:
❌ The text we’ve generated was approximately the length of an essay; however, we wouldn’t really call it that. The resulting text wasn’t properly structured, some sentences weren’t connected, and it started repeating itself in the end.
❌ To generate a longer text, you must go sentence by sentence, choosing between several versions it suggests every time, which is pretty tedious.
Our Verdict:
Quillbot Co-Writer is fantastic for generating a couple of sentences but not for the entire text.
DeepAI Text Generation
DeepAI’s text generation tool can generate whole paragraphs of text. Powered by the GPT-2 model, this tool can predict the text you want to write based on your inputs, making the writing process smoother than ever.
Trying out this one is especially exciting because ChatGPT is also based on a version of the same model by OpenAI. Let’s see how similar they are!
Advantages:
✅ The language is formal, and the sentences are well-written. We can’t think of any other advantages.
Disadvantages:
❌ It has a 200-word limit which is not enough to generate an entire text.
❌ In our opinion, the result was not good. As you can see from the example further down on this webpage, it deviated from the topic altogether. We tried generating texts with other prompts, but the results were just as underwhelming.
❌ Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense. See for yourself:
Example:
Unfortunately, the problems facing older Americans can be easily overcome when we seek to promote democracy and equal representation in the workplace.
Our verdict:
DeepAI text generator might help you develop some writing ideas, but we don’t recommend it overall.
InferKit Text Generator
InferKit tool works in demo mode. It claims to have a neural network that generates texts and gives generous 10000 weekly characters limit for free. You can also pick some keywords to help the tool stay on topic.
Advantages:
✅ This algorithm is capable of creating complete texts. It generates 1-1.5 sentences at a time and continues writing once you click again.
✅ It develops a nicely structured text with a thesis statement and conclusion.
Disadvantages:
❌ As you can see in the example down below, the resulting text’s theme shifted several times throughout the process and deviated from the prompt. Adding keywords can help the tool stay (more or less) on topic.
❌ While the generated text sounded convincing, it was made entirely of made-up facts. For example:
Example:
Studies have shown that individuals over the age of 65 voted for Republicans 70% of the time in the 2016 presidential election.
A quick fact check shows that 72% of individuals over 65 voted in general, with 56% voting for Republicans.
❌ The text also mentions organizations that do not exist, such as impressive-sounding “Americans for Voting and Participation in Democracy (AVPD).”
Our verdict:
The texts InferKit generates are relatively well-developed. However, the content can be completely random and unrelated to the topic, so we don’t recommend using it for your academic writing.
ChatGPT Text Generation
Yes, ChatGPT can do it all and even create entire essays. This advanced tool uses text prediction technology to respond to your questions in the chat, so it’s no surprise that you can also use it to generate longer texts: from writing academic papers to composing creative fiction.
The ChatGPT model is highly efficient as it has been trained with trillions of word connections, allowing it to predict the next word easily. The result is a text that is accurate, fluent, and human-like. (We recommend you read the Search Engine Journal’s article to learn more about how ChatGPT works.)
Advantages:
✅ ChatGPT creates very well-structured texts with excellent wording and solid logic. See for yourself in the examples section further down the webpage.
✅ It can generate in various ways depending on what you ask it to do. The most straightforward command is “write an essay on [topic],” but you can elaborate by mentioning anything from the study level to the tone requirements.
✅ It also allows for writing specific parts of your essay, such as a catchy hook:
Example:
- Come up with a hook for an essay about the neglect of older adults by the US government using a piece of statistics.
- Despite the fact that older adults make up over 14% of the US population, government funding for elder care programs has consistently been on the decline – a neglect that is reflected in the alarmingly high statistics of elder abuse and neglect cases reported each year.
Disadvantages:
❌ The biggest drawback is that the resulting text might contain false information. The tool also doesn’t cite its sources, so you can’t verify the facts it presents without googling every single one (including the statistic mentioned above, which is actually 2% off.) For that reason, we strongly discourage you from copying and pasting the generated text. Using it as a template is a much better idea—do your research, enter the facts, and watch ChatGPT put it all together.
❌ The writing is not always perfect: for example, we’ve noticed that ChatGPT is prone to tautology.
Our verdict:
Again, our opinion on ChatGPT is highly favorable. It creates very impressive texts. Still, we recommend using it for inspiration only and developing your ideas yourself.
Examples of Texts Generated by the Tools
Our experiment went like this: we entered the first couple of sentences and asked the tool to write the continuation. We tried generating as much text as possible.
Here is our prompt:
Example:
As a country, the United States prides itself on being a beacon of democracy and equal representation for all citizens. However, it is undeniable that certain groups, such as older adults, are often neglected in the realm of national politics.
Below are the continuations generated by different tools:
🎉 Conclusion: Which Tools Are the Best?

So far, ChatGPT has proven to be an incredibly powerful and efficient academic writing tool. But did you know that its capabilities extend beyond paraphrasing, summarizing, and text prediction?
In this bonus section of our article, we’re going to explore other creative ways in which this versatile tool can enhance your academic experience.
Create Thesis Statements
With its advanced text prediction capabilities, ChatGPT can generate a thesis statement for you with a simple command “generate a thesis statement for an essay about [topic].” Not only that, but you can also specify the type of essay you’re writing and ask the tool to create several thesis statements to choose from.
Alternatives: Our Pick
Another great option is to use Analytical Thesis Statement Generator by StudyCorgi. This tool is excellent for when you already have some ideas and just need help tying them together in one sentence. Unlike ChatGPT, Analytical Thesis Statement Generator doesn’t write from scratch and requires you to insert your own conclusions. Still, it can be a great help when you’re looking for some guidance on structuring your ideas.
Generate Essay Topics
If you need help coming up with an interesting essay idea, ChatGPT’s got your back. A simple command such as “generate interesting essay topics about Artificial Intelligence” will give you several unique and compelling topics to write about. We recommend you specify the type of essay you’re working on to get the perfect result.
Alternatives: Our Pick
Another good option for generating essay topics is to use Random Topic Generator for Essays developed by Custom-Writing.org. It provides a list of various samples and writing ideas you can choose from, making it a great resource to use when you feel stuck or uninspired.
Write Research Questions
ChatGPT is also a great aid in developing research questions for your paper. Simply write a command “write research questions on [topic]” and specify the type of research and how many questions you would like to receive. You will get a list of unique customized writing ideas.
Alternatives: Our Pick
Another option for generating research questions is to use Custom-Writing’s Research Question Generator Online. All you need is to enter your topic and field of study, click the button “make a question,” and select an option from the generated list. This tool not only generates research questions but also can come up with essay topics.
Create Essay Outlines
Outlining an essay is often a daunting task, but ChatGPT can make it easier. All you need to do is write a command: “generate an outline for an essay on [topic].” It even provides a ready-made thesis statement for you to guide your paper!
Alternatives: Our Pick
Another tool we recommend for creating an essay outline is Quillbot Co-writer. While it won’t include a thesis statement, it has the advantage of correctly formatting the outline so that you can use it as a table of contents.
It’s important to keep in mind that both ChatGPT and Quillbot Co-Writer may not be able to generate good content on rare and obscure topics.
We hope you found this article informative and helpful in understanding the recent developments in AI language models. Now you have a better idea of which tool to use for your academic writing needs. We recommend you test different software yourself to see which of them best fits your needs.
