Use case
For students and researchers: exam prep, thesis writing and slides
The problem
What gets in the way
- Exam information is scattered across hundreds of official sites.
- AI writing tools invent references that do not exist.
- Turning a thesis into slides takes a weekend.

Step by step
How to do it
- 1
Prepare on Shishya
Search any exam or college; practise with free mock tests and ask the tutor when stuck.
- 2
Write in CitedWriter
Pick a template and citation style. A paper can be cited only once its DOI and title are confirmed.
- 3
Check and export
Run the similarity pre-check, share the AI-use log, and export to Word.
- 4
Make the slides
Upload the paper to SlideDeckMaker and edit the deck before your presentation.
Be sure
When Surge Software is not the right tool
CitedWriter helps you write; it does not write your thesis for you, and your university's rules on AI use still apply. Shishya is a study aid, not an official source — confirm dates on the exam body's site.
