I put Writefull through rigorous testing to answer the questions that matter to researchers and students. This review goes through real-world academic use cases, testing everything from research assistance to AI writing capabilities.

By the end, you'll have a clear picture of whether this tool deserves a place in your toolkit or not. If you're ready, let's dive into it!

What Is Writefull?

Writefull X offers AI-powered academic writing tools including title generation, abstract creation, paraphrasing, and style formalization, available as standalone features or integrated with Word and Overleaf.

Writefull Features

Academic writing deadlines looming? Writefull X might be worth your attention if you're struggling with titles, abstracts, or formal academic tone.

This AI-powered suite promises to transform your writing process – but does it actually deliver the time-saving benefits researchers need? I tested it extensively to find out what it can (and can't) do for your scholarly work.

What separates Writefull X from generic writing assistants is its integration with platforms like Word and Overleaf. But integration alone doesn't guarantee results. The real question is whether its AI truly understands the nuances of academic writing standards across different fields.

Continue reading to discover my findings when putting each feature through rigorous testing.

1. AI Writing

Writefull offers paraphrasing tools but lacks comprehensive content generation capabilities.

When I tested the platform, I immediately noticed missing AI autocomplete features, which means you won't get assistance completing your sentences or generating new ideas as you write.

Looking for help writing your introduction or specific paper sections? You'll need to look elsewhere. Writefull doesn't support generating whole sections from scratch.

The good news? Most paraphrasing options maintain an academic tone while sounding natural. But watch out for the "make text punchier" option. When I tested it, my straightforward paragraph transformed into this weird-sounding thing:

Delving into these critical dimensions, this paper stands as a significant pillar in the ever-expanding landscape of scholarly literature... (generated by Writefull)

2. Grammar & Style Check

You'll find Writefull's grammar checking works, but comes with a frustrating visibility problem in Overleaf. I almost completely missed the suggestions during my testing!

The issue? Grammar corrections hide within the interface, forcing you to manually scroll through your entire document to find them. While the actual suggestions are helpful when discovered, the hunt to locate them makes this feature far less useful than it should be.

If you're looking for seamless grammar assistance that doesn't interrupt your workflow, this implementation might leave you wanting more.

3. Multi Language Support

There's no option to manually set your preferred language or switch between languages within the interface. Instead, Writefull intelligently adapts to whatever language you're writing in.

This automatic language detection worked smoothly with my Spanish text, allowing me to use the paraphrasing features without needing to configure any language settings.

However, without clearly labeled language support, you might wonder which languages beyond Spanish are supported and how well they work.

4. Export Options

Export will vary depending on which integration you're using.

When using the Word integration, you can save your document in various formats like DOCX, PDF, or plain text. But with the Overleaf integration, you're limited to Overleaf's only PDF export.

5. AI Title Generator

This doesn't bring anything special to the table. When I tested it with several research topics, it produced acceptable title suggestions that were relevant to my content.

The problem? You can easily get the same results for free using ChatGPT. The titles generated weren't noticeably better or more tailored than what you'd get from a basic prompt to any free AI tool.

6. AI Abstract Generator

This feature can create concise abstracts that will cover the key points of your papers.

However, there's nothing groundbreaking here. You can achieve the same results—or better—by simply uploading your PDF to ChatGPT and asking it to generate an abstract.

The quality difference doesn't justify using Writefull specifically for this feature.
