Does not assist with research ideation, paper structure, citations, or academic specific workflows. Designed to improve what you have already written.

Academic Writing Support

Fastory

Purpose built for scholarly writing with field specific training on thousands of accepted papers. AI Autocomplete and AI Write understand research terminology, maintain academic rigor, and follow discipline conventions. Blueprint Mapper creates field calibrated outlines.

Grammarly

General writing assistant with some academic tone detection. Can identify overly casual language and suggest more formal alternatives. Lacks deep understanding of research paper structure, field specific conventions, or scholarly argumentation. Cannot generate academic content or provide research specific writing assistance.

Citation and Research Tools

Integrated citation engine with access to over 1 billion research documents. Smart search ranks sources by relevance to your work. Cite as you write with automatic formatting in any style.

Grammarly

Basic citation awareness can detect missing citations in some contexts. No citation generation, source search, or reference management capabilities. Cannot verify academic sources or format bibliographies. Users must manage citations entirely through external tools and manually insert them.

Research Workflow

Fastory

End to end integrated workflow: Blueprint Mapper for structured outlines aligned to your research aim, Agentic Editor for writing with citations, AI Chat for research reasoning, Library for source organization, AI Reviewer for quality assessment, Submission Q for formatting. Every phase of research covered in one platform.

Grammarly

Single function tool focused on text editing and improvement. No support for research planning, source management, paper structure, or submission preparation. Users must cobble together multiple separate platforms for different phases of research. Works as one piece in a fragmented workflow.
