The Causes of the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution did not arrive in a single moment. It accumulated — across coal seams, capital markets, and shifts in labor — until British manufacturing was unrecognizable by 1800[1].
Agricultural productivity gains freed workers from the land, while colonial trade routes provided both raw cotton and a captive market[2].
The role of institutional change — patent law, joint-stock companies — is often understated…
Four tools. Four tabs. Your brain is the integration layer.
Most students writing a real essay are paying $52/month across three subscriptions, copying paragraphs between four tabs, and verifying every citation by hand because the AI keeps making up sources.

One workspace. Every job.
Drop in your brief, your readings, and write. Rekally drafts, paraphrases, fixes grammar, and cites — in the same document, with one subscription, with no hallucinated sources.
ChatGPT
Drafting + chat — but grounded in your sources.
Grammarly
Grammar + tighten + tone — applied in the document.
QuillBot
Paraphrase + rewrite — accept/reject diffs, no copy-paste.
Word
A real document editor — headings, footnotes, autosave, citations inline.
Three steps from prompt to a draft you'd defend.
Drop in your brief and readings.
Paste the assignment. Upload your PDFs, DOCX, or lecture notes. Rekally reads them so you can write from the same place your professor did.
Get a cited first draft.
Generate a draft grounded in your sources, with real citations as it goes. Not a finished paper — a starting point you can argue with and make yours.
Edit with chat, in the document.
Highlight a paragraph. Ask for tighter, longer, a counterargument, a better transition. Edits land as accept/reject diffs in the editor. No copy-paste.
Four parts. One coherent place.
Brief
Paste the prompt, the rubric, the word count, the due date. The AI reads it before every generation, so what comes back matches the assignment — not a generic version of it.
Write a 4,000-word essay analysing the social and economic causes of the Industrial Revolution. Reference at least 5 sources from the reading list. Due: 2 May.
Sources
Upload PDFs and DOCX, paste lecture notes, drop in articles. Rekally extracts the text and grounds drafts and citations on it. No more pasting articles paragraph by paragraph into a chat window.
Draft
Headings, footnotes, tables, autosave. A slash menu for structure. A bubble menu to ask the AI about a selection. The thing you turn in lives here, and looks like a paper.
The Causes of the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution did not arrive in a single moment. It accumulated — across coal seams, capital markets, and shifts in labor[1].
Agricultural productivity gains freed workers from the land[2].
Chat
Ask for a stronger thesis, a tighter paragraph, a counterargument from Source 2. Every change lands in the document as an accept/reject diff. You stay in charge of the words.
Every citation is real.
ChatGPT will invent authors, year, journal, page numbers — and write them in confident APA. We've all had the office-hours conversation.
Rekally finds citations through Semantic Scholar's real-paper index, then verifies each one against the actual abstract before inserting it. If a claim can't be supported, the AI says so. No invented sources.
- ✓ Searches Semantic Scholar (~200M peer-reviewed papers, including arXiv and PubMed)
- ✓ Verifies the abstract supports the claim before showing the source
- ✓ Returns a verbatim supporting quote — you can audit it
- ✓ Formats in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, and more
Find a citation for: "agricultural productivity gains preceded the Industrial Revolution."
The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective
Confidently cite "Allen, R. (2007). Pre-industrial productivity. Journal of Economic History, 67(3), 412-449." — a paper that does not exist.
One subscription. Five replaced.
Each of these tools is great at its core job. None of them know about each other — which is why you've been the integration layer.

Whatever you're actually writing.
Rekally has been used end-to-end on assignments that already had their citations verified by hand and submitted for grading.
"I was pasting between Grammarly, ChatGPT, and QuillBot. Rekally collapsed all of it. Citations came out right the first time — I didn't verify a single one."
"I drop the syllabus extract and the readings, hit generate. The draft is grounded enough that I'm editing, not starting over."
"The agent finds papers that actually exist and quotes the abstract back to me. Office hours are about my argument now, not whether I made up Allen 2007."
We won't fake testimonials. As real users come in and tell us their stories, this section will fill out with names and schools.
AI shouldn't make your writing cheaper.
It should make it more yours. Better-sourced, more clearly argued, more defensible — written with help, not by it. That's the workspace we wanted, so we built it.
You shouldn't have to choose between writing fast and writing well.
Or between using AI and writing something you actually understand.
You shouldn't have to paste your readings into a chat window paragraph by paragraph.
Or trust a model that has never seen the assignment to know what the assignment is.
You shouldn't have to verify every citation by hand because the AI is confidently making them up.
Or hand in a draft you couldn't defend in office hours.
Before you start.
Is using Rekally cheating?
No more than using Grammarly, ChatGPT, or any modern writing tool. Rekally generates a starting draft you edit, with citations to your real readings. The output is your work — you direct it, you defend it. We'd argue verifying every citation by hand against a hallucinating chatbot is a worse path than writing alongside a tool that grounds itself in your sources.
Will my professor be able to tell?
AI-detection tools don't reliably distinguish AI-edited writing from human writing — they flag a lot of false positives. The bigger truth: if you can defend the argument and the citations are real, you're in good shape. Rekally's job is to make sure both of those are true.
How do you stop the AI from hallucinating citations?
We don't let the model invent sources. Citations come from Semantic Scholar (~200M peer-reviewed papers). For each candidate citation, a separate verification pass checks the abstract actually supports the claim before we show it to you, with a verbatim quote you can audit.
What kinds of files can I upload as sources?
PDFs, DOCX, plain text. You can also paste lecture notes, syllabus extracts, or article text directly. Rekally extracts the text and grounds drafts and citations on it.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a chat tool. Rekally is a document workspace built around your assignment, your sources, your draft, and an AI that has read all three. Edits land in the document as accept/reject diffs — no copy-pasting between tabs. And we don't hallucinate sources.
How is this different from Jenni AI?
Jenni is built for PhD-level researchers writing for academic journals — heavy on paper search and collaboration. Rekally is built for students writing graded coursework essays. Same wedge (source-grounded, real citations), different workflow.
What's on the free plan?
1 active project, 5 sources per project, 150 AI messages per day, full draft generation, unlimited inline rewrites, all citation styles. Enough to write one real essay end-to-end. Pro ($9/mo) lifts the caps.
Can I export my draft to Word or Google Docs?
Yes. Export to DOCX, Markdown, or plain text. Citations come along formatted in your chosen style.
Your next essay is waiting.
Start a project. Drop in the brief and a reading or two. See what a grounded first draft looks like. The version of you that turns this in on Friday is going to be glad you did.
