  • Built automatically inside your Multilo research project — no separate tool or upload step.

  • Covers the paper’s core argument, method, findings, and key data points.

  • Designed for fast comprehension, not as a replacement for the full text.

  • Generated per document, so each source in your library gets its own overview.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about writing with Multilo

What makes Multilo different from other AI writing tools?

Multilo verifies every citation against the original source passage before you submit, and edits your actual .docx file — most AI writing tools do one of these, not both.

Is NotebookLM good enough to write a research paper?

NotebookLM is designed for research exploration with AI-powered Q&A, summaries, and audio/video overviews—not complete academic writing. Multilo goes further by combining these capabilities with AI writing, verified citations, Word document editing, literature review tools, and much more in one complete research workspace.

Can I switch to Multilo from Jenni AI or Paperpal without losing my draft?

Yes — export your existing draft as a .docx and open it directly in Multilo. Your citations carry over as text, and Claim Check can then verify them against your source library.

Does Multilo work offline?

Yes. Because it runs on your machine, you can draft, cite, and refine without a connection — your project is always right where you left it.

Does Multilo have video or audio overviews like NotebookLM?

Yes — Multilo can generate a video overview of your sources, similar to NotebookLM, but it’s built alongside citation verification and drafting tools rather than as a standalone feature.
