You know your research better than any tool.

Kirigami is an online tool for researchers writing scientific papers.

Upload your draft and Kirigami gives you feedback on content, structure and coherence: whether each section contains the information the reader needs to understand your study, whether each section follows the structure journals expect, and whether the argument holds together across the paper.

Every note Kirigami gives you explains its reasoning and suggests improvements, so you can weigh it, ignore it, or act on it by editing your manuscript and re-analysing.

You can also upload papers, notes, theses or other documents you find relevant to your research and ask questions about them in a closed environment: answers come only from your library and link to the source page, so nothing is invented.

Kirigami never writes for you and never decides for you. It supports your thinking. The judgement is yours.

PDF, DOCX and LaTeX files, up to 10 MB.

Upload your draft and Kirigami reads it section by section against a human-curated framework of scientific writing guidelines. It looks at content, structure and coherence: whether each section says what a reader expects, whether it is built the way that section should be, and whether the argument holds from title to conclusion. Each section is scored so you can see where to focus. For every issue, Kirigami names the problem, explains why it matters and reasons through possible fixes. You decide what to change, edit in Kirigami and re-analyse. It takes minutes.

No. Kirigami reads what you have written and gives you feedback based on the human-curated framework we developed: what information a section may be missing, inconsistencies between your hypothesis and your conclusions, suggestions for structural improvements, and food for thought on what you could consider changing. It never drafts a sentence of your manuscript for you. You write, Kirigami comments, you decide. There is no “write for me” button.

No. In Kirigami you build your own library: a knowledge base of the papers, documents and notes you consider useful for your work.

When you ask your knowledge base a question, Kirigami answers only from the papers and documents you have uploaded, never from the open web, and every answer links to the exact page it came from. It cannot cite what it has not read. If Kirigami does not find an answer in your knowledge base, it tells you so.

You can also paste a statement and verify it against your own sources. When it reviews your manuscript, every note points to the passage you wrote and explains its reasoning. At any point you can build on it or check it rather than take it on trust.

Grammar tools correct sentences and generative AI produces text. Kirigami does neither. You write the science. Kirigami guides you to improve it.

No. Kirigami does not generate scientific content, so authorship stays with you. Every suggestion is transparent and traceable in your Task Management, should anyone ask.

Yes. Declare every AI tool you use. Kirigami comments on your manuscript and never writes it, so a short statement is enough.

Example: “During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used Kirigami (kirigami.ai) for feedback on content, structure and coherence. The authors reviewed all suggestions, wrote the final text and take full responsibility for the content.”

Yes. Kirigami is a European company and processes every document under GDPR. It runs on infrastructure certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted to the author, and manuscripts are never shared with third parties or used for model training.

PhD students writing their first paper. Postdocs and principal investigators writing their twentieth. Clinicians and medical writers preparing a study for publication. Supervisors and research groups who review drafts before they go out. If you write research papers in the IMRD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion), in fields such as chemistry, biology or medicine, Kirigami is for you. More formats are coming soon.

Yes.

We know that whoever runs a lab, a department or a research office carries two demanding responsibilities at once: the integrity of what the institution publishes, and the training of the people who write it. Kirigami serves both.

Every researcher gets guidance whenever they need it and structured feedback to progress with their work, whether or not their supervisor is available at that moment or English is their first language. Kirigami supports researchers without ever writing for them, so what leaves your institution is written by your people.

Supervisors receive drafts that have already been through structural review, giving them back precious time to focus on discussing the science.

Kirigami offers a set of institutional tools. Shared knowledge bases let the group keep its sources even when people move on. For governance: single sign-on, audit logs and more.
