Comparison
Jenni asks you to write in its editor. Write It works in yours. If your teacher wants a Google Doc link, that difference decides it.

Jenni AI and Write It want the same outcome: a finished, cited academic paper with less pain. They disagree about where you should be sitting while it happens.

A separate editor is a fine place to write. It is a worse place to submit from. If you draft in Jenni and your class wants a Google Doc, there is an export step at the end — and exports are where formatting goes to die: citation spacing shifts, heading styles flatten, footnotes land oddly.
There is also the version history question. A document that was written elsewhere and pasted in has a revision timeline showing exactly that. If your teacher checks — and more do every year — the whole paper arriving at one timestamp is visible.
Jenni’s inline autocomplete is the feature people stay for. Writing a sentence and having the next clause offered, tuned for academic register, is a genuinely different experience from prompting a chatbot. Its citation handling is built for academic work rather than bolted on.
Write It has tab completion that does the same job inside Google Docs, and it is good, but Jenni has been focused on that one interaction longer.
Install Write It and get academic drafting, autocomplete, and citations without leaving Google Docs.
Bottom line: Jenni is a well-built academic writing environment, and if you are happy drafting inside it, it does that job properly. Write It bets that most students will not move their writing out of Google Docs, and builds the same capabilities — drafting, autocomplete, citations — plus typing, humanizing, and detection into the document they already have open.
