Core Mission
Fastory
Fastory is a complete Research Operating System designed to take you from blank page to published paper. Includes field calibrated blueprints, AI driven content creation with automatic citations, research chat, reference library, comprehensive paper review, and submission formatting. Built to create research papers from inception through publication.
Paperpal
Paperpal is an AI editing and language polishing service focused on improving existing manuscripts. Offers grammar checking, academic tone enhancement, paraphrasing, and pre submission manuscript checks. Designed to refine and perfect papers you have already written. Does not assist with paper creation, structure, or content generation.
Research Paper Creation
Fastory
AI trained on thousands of accepted papers generates scholarly content from scratch. Blueprint Mapper creates field calibrated outlines aligned to your research aim. AI Autocomplete and AI Write produce academic text with proper terminology and citations. Start with nothing and finish with a complete draft. Built for creating original research papers.
Paperpal
No content generation or paper creation capabilities. Paperpal edits and improves text you provide. Cannot help with blank page paralysis, structure planning, or generating research content. You must write the paper yourself using other tools before Paperpal can assist with polishing.
Citation and Source Management
Fastory
Integrated citation engine with access to over 1 billion research documents. Smart search ranks sources by relevance to your work. Citations appear automatically as you write with full DOI and metadata. Reference library stores all sources with one click. Formats bibliographies in any style. Complete source discovery and management.
Paperpal
No citation search, source discovery, or reference management capabilities. Can check citation formatting consistency but cannot generate citations or find sources. Users must handle all research, citation creation, and reference management through entirely separate platforms. Paperpal only edits what you provide.
Comprehensive Review vs Manuscript Check
Fastory
Agentic AI Reviewer provides detailed 9 section analysis scoring papers 0 to 100 against actual journal standards. Evaluates methodology, argumentation, citation quality, structure, and scholarly rigor. Predicts acceptance probability with 85 percent of 70 plus scored papers getting accepted on first submission. Comprehensive quality assessment.
Paperpal
Preflight manuscript check identifies technical issues before submission like formatting problems, reference errors, and language concerns. Helpful for catching submission mistakes but does not evaluate academic rigor, methodological soundness, or research quality. More focused on mechanical compliance than scholarly assessment.
Integrated Research Workflow
Fastory
End to end Research OS covering every phase: Blueprint Mapper for structure, Agentic Editor for writing with citations, AI Chat for research questions, Library for sources, AI Reviewer for quality scoring, Submission Q for delivery. Complete integrated workflow from idea to publication in one platform.
Paperpal
Focused toolset for editing and submission preparation. Helps with language polishing, grammar, paraphrasing, and manuscript checking. Does not cover research planning, content creation, citation management, or comprehensive quality review. Users need multiple other platforms for the complete workflow.
