With the invention of AI services writing essays became easier. Students can use them to rewrite and improve texts, generate essay outlines, and even write complete essays just by listing the essay requirements. In this article, we want to share various machine-learning tools you can use for your essay, research paper, and other writing assignments.
What Professors Think about Student Use of AI Tools
Educational experts and professors agree that they can’t prohibit the usage of AI. They understand that students will use it for their educational and non-educational needs. However, some professors recommend not solely relying on AI tools as they may decrease students’ critical thinking skills and their writing skills abilities. Experts insist on the clever use of these tools, not replacing initial intellectual work with automated decisions.
Before we proceed to AI tools, be aware that your teacher or professor may use AI detection tools to check whether your essay was written by you or by a machine learning system. Typical patterns and words may be detected even if the received text looks like a human text. We recommend you use one of the AI essay detector tools before submitting your generated essay and ensure it looks human-like.

Rytr.me
This AI has a free plan with limited characters each month and may become your helper with creating outlines and writing essay parts on various topics. You can input the desired tone, creativity level, and essay requirements. Consider that the received text may need some improvements, as the offered word patterns won’t impress you and your professor.
Here is a screenshot of how the AI has approached an essay topic about using Facebook in learning and teaching.
Also, you can experiment with the suggestions for the essay outline. The Rytr.me offers subtitles for paragraphs and a short description of what you write about.
TinyWow
If you are searching for AI with more tools, you can test TinyWow. It can write you a complete essay, paragraph, summarize the content, fix grammar, and more. The application allows you to specify the number of paragraphs and educational level and set the required topic for the essay to get the best result. In fact, the output quality was a bit poorly written compared to Rytr.me, but it still can be used as a fishbone for your essay. If you add something from yourself and a works cited list, the professor may approve it.
HyperWrite
This AI service allows you to use generation options 15 times per month. While it doesn’t offer writing the complete text, you can utilize it for outlining and introductions. For example, input the essay topic and write a thesis statement to ask the AI to create an outline. Combine several outline generators to get more ideas for your essay and better results.

With its help, you can ask for topic suggestions, scholarly resources for referencing, essay outlines, and text generation. For example, we have asked to generate references for the essay on a particular topic.
Also, you can use this AI to summarize extensive articles to get the main ideas and quickly understand the content. Use the prompt “Summarize the text below and give me a list of bullet points with main ideas.”
Moreover, you can use it as a quick editor for your draft and fix the main mistakes. Use a variation of the following phrase “Proofread and edit the text below. Fix grammar and spelling mistakes. Make suggestions for improvements.”
Grammarly
One of the best AI grammar checkers is Grammarly. Even with a free account, you can get help with grammar and spelling mistakes just with a few clicks of your mouse. Paid versions may help you improve your writing style and give you suggestions on the paper’s quality. Moreover, the service offers a built-in application for Microsoft Word, browsers, and others.
Jenni.ai
We have tested various writing AI tools, and Jenni is one of the working tools for creating outlines and essay drafts.

But remember that Copyleaks has identified the text as the AI content so you can use it as an idea generator for your essay.
Tips to Use AI Tools for Essay Writing
