Will Gapnostic write my thesis?

No. Gapnostic gives you evidence and structure, never paragraphs for your thesis. The judgment and the writing stay yours, because those are the parts a degree certifies.

Searching for papers, your library, reader, Idea Vault and every download are free, and confirming your email brings 50 starter credits for the AI steps. The Researcher plan is $15 a month for 300 credits, or $144 a year for 3,600 credits, and a top-up is 150 credits for $8. In Nigeria the plan is $8 a month or $72 a year. Payments are handled by Paddle.

Gapnostic summaryExample

Partly new

Trust has been studied in cities. None of the 40 papers read looked at the north, or at distance to an agent.

What it does

Three tools for the hardest part of research: the beginning.

Novelty Assessment

Has it been done?

Describe your idea in your own words. Gapnostic searches the live literature by meaning and judges your idea against what it finds.

What already exists, and what yours would add
The gaps the papers leave open
Every search and every paper it read, shown

Literature Matrix

What does the literature say?

Choose five to twenty papers and see them side by side: aim, method, population, sample, findings and limitations.

Every cell backed by the paper’s own words
Questions across the papers, answered with quotes
Two methodology options grounded in what they did

Read and ask

Read closely, without losing a source.

Free PDFs of open-access papers arrive in your library on their own. Highlight a passage and keep it with an idea.

Ask about the paper you are reading
Answers quote the paper, with the page
Your highlights and notes stay tied to their source

Topic BreakdownAim, questions, variables and weaknesses, in about 25 seconds.
Research ReportYour whole project in one PDF for your supervisor. Free.
Library and readerEvery paper you keep, with its highlights. Free.
Idea VaultRough ideas and questions, linked to their sources. Free.

Built to be defended

Your supervisor can always tell what a paper says, what you think, and what Gapnostic suggested.

It never writes your thesis. You get evidence and structure. The writing stays yours.
It never invents a source. Every paper is real, with its way back to the original.
It shows the cost first. You see what a step uses before it runs, and a failed step costs nothing.

Source

Trust in agents predicted continued use of mobile money over two years.

Example paper, 2021, p. 7

Your note

Could trust matter more than cost in the north? Worth testing in Kano.

Gapnostic summary

This study measured trust in one city and did not control for distance to the nearest agent.

From the blog

Practical writing for researchers.

Originality

Is my research topic original? How to check before you commit

Originality is a defensible claim, not an empty space. How to test for one in an afternoon.

Literature review

How to build a literature review matrix

Which six columns to use, how to fill them honestly, and how to read the finished table.

AI and integrity

How to check whether an AI made up a citation

Three ways a citation can be wrong, and the most dangerous is not the one everybody checks.

Questions

What researchers ask first.

Is Gapnostic a chatbot?

No. Each tool does one job, shows its plan and every step it takes, and gives answers you can check against the papers. Questions are always about papers you chose.

Where do the papers come from?

From OpenAlex, an open index of scholarly work from around the world, and from the PDFs you upload yourself. Every paper keeps its route back to the original.

Can it read papers behind a paywall?

Only the ones you have. Upload the PDFs your library gives you access to. Gapnostic fetches free open-access copies for you, and never gets around a paywall.

Who can see my work?

Only you. Your workspace is private, enforced in the database itself, and sharing only happens if you choose it.

Will my supervisor accept it?

It is built to be shown to one: every verdict comes with the searches it ran and the papers it read, and every quote opens the page it came from.

Start with a rough idea. Leave with a direction you can defend.

The papers, the gap and a method, each with its evidence.
