Use AI for the parts of school work that take the longest: understanding a topic, planning, finding sources, checking your draft, and the writing around school, like emails to teachers. The rest of this page is how, step by step.
Hemmingway writes with Hemmingway-1.5, the undetectable AI: 90% of its writing passed GPTZero and the top AI detectors in our test. How to tell if something was written by AI covers the signs readers and detectors look for.
Our page on AI for school sets out what Hemmingway, which we make, does for students.
1. Understand and plan
AI is quickest at the parts that used to take an evening:
- Explain a topic in plain words, then again a different way.
- Ask for a hint on a problem.
- Quiz you on your own notes.
- Point to the mistake in your working or your draft.
- Plan: put your points in order, or turn your view into a thesis statement.
Using AI for homework has prompts for each of these.
2. Start from your own notes
An AI works from what you give it. Give it your notes, your points, your rough draft, your story, and what comes back sounds like you. From a blank page it writes the most common version of the thing.
Hemmingway's tools for school work this way. The outline generator and the thesis statement generator take your points and your view, and add none of their own.
3. Find sources
Ask Hemmingway to find sources and it searches the web, reads the pages and cites them. Ask for the source next to each point, so it is ready to name in your work.

Where Hemmingway fits
Hemmingway is a writing app. At school it helps with the writing: outlines and thesis statements from your points, emails to teachers, application essays from your own story, cover letters and speeches, and feedback on your drafts. Ask it to find sources and it searches the web and cites them. The AI email writer, AI summarizer and grammar checker are good places to start, and how to email a professor shows how to write one.
