What Clico does, and what it doesn't
Clico is a writing assistant for students and researchers. It can help you think through structure, clarify a paragraph, and improve a draft. It is not a tool for bypassing your class rules or submitting work you did not understand.
Built for every kind of essay
Use Clico where the writing happens: inside Docs, LMS text boxes, scholarship forms, or web editors.
Argumentative
Develop thesis, evidence, and counterarguments.
Literature review
Synthesize papers and identify recurring themes.
Personal statement
Tighten story, structure, and voice.
Research essay
Turn notes and sources into a coherent draft plan.
Reflection

About AI detection
AI detection tools are imperfect and school policies differ. Treat Clico as a writing partner: use it to outline, revise, and learn from feedback. Always follow your institution's AI policy and keep the final argument yours.
Type @ to write with your sources open
Working from three research tabs? Pull them into the prompt with @ and ask Clico to compare claims, build a thesis, or draft a source aware paragraph.
@Primary source@Journal article@Lecture notes
Draft a paragraph using @Primary source and contrast it with @Journal article.
