Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool write the essay for me?

No. It generates a structural skeleton — an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, with placeholders for your own points and evidence. You still need to research, think through, and write the actual content yourself.

Can I include a counterargument paragraph?

Yes, check the counterargument box to add a dedicated section for addressing an opposing viewpoint and your response to it, which many argumentative essays benefit from.

Can I copy the outline into my document?

Yes, click Copy Outline to copy the full structure to your clipboard, ready to paste into Word, Google Docs, or wherever you're drafting.

Once you've drafted your essay, check it with the Word Counter and Readability Checker.
