See it in action
From research settings to Works Cited
Choose citation style and course mode, discover vetted sources from your search, then drop a formatted bibliography straight into Google Docs.
Step 1 · Research settings
Citation style and course mode
Turn on the options that shape every search: pick a bibliography format such as MLA, APA, or Chicago, and choose the kind of research you are doing, starting with AP Research and AP Seminar, with more modes over time. Those settings steer which sources look like a strong fit and how citations will read later.
Step 2 · Discover sources
Search, then review what fits
Type your topic or question with your research settings applied. Write It surfaces candidates you can skim, open, and keep, so you spend less time hunting tabs and more time deciding what belongs in your paper.
Step 3 · Works Cited
Format and insert into your doc
Select the sources you saved in your library, generate a Works Cited in the style you chose, and insert it directly into your Google Doc. No manual reformatting or copy-paste footnotes between apps.
Settings that match your rubric.
Choose citation style (MLA, APA, and more) and a research profile like AP Research or AP Seminar so suggestions and bibliography output align with what your class expects.
Search once. Skim what matters.
Enter your query with those settings on; get back sources you can vet fast, then add the keepers to a library tied to this project.
Works Cited, done in-doc.
Pick sources from your library, format them in the style you selected, and paste the block into your document, ready for submission.
Built for serious research papers
Settings first: citations and course context
Strong research starts with clear guardrails. Selecting MLA versus APA and telling Write It you are in AP Research or AP Seminar helps the product emphasize the kinds of evidence and framing those courses reward. You can change settings as your teacher’s requirements evolve, and your libraries stay organized per document or project.
Discovery you still control
The search experience is designed for judgment, not autopilot. You see suggested sources, open them on your terms, and only promote the ones that actually support your thesis. That keeps your bibliography honest and makes downstream writing, whether solo or with Apollo, grounded in what you chose.
From library list to formatted Works Cited
When you are ready to wrap, you should not need a separate citation manager just to paste a clean page of references. Research Mode formats the sources you selected and inserts the result into Google Docs so formatting, spacing, and style stay consistent with what you set on day one.
