Essay generator

A free essay generator. Give it the question and your own points, and Hemmingway writes a first draft or an outline, with sources from the web when you ask.

Opens Hemmingway with this filled in. Free to try, no card needed.

Hemmingway-1.5, the model behind this tool, writes like a person, not like a template: 90% of its writing passed GPTZero & Pangram and the top AI detectors in our test, which is why we call it undetectable AI. It is also one of our tools for AI for school.

Put in the essay question and your own points. Hemmingway arranges them into a first draft, or an outline if you ask for one: an introduction that states your position, a paragraph for each point, the case against, and a conclusion.

Ask it to find sources and it searches the web and cites them.

What makes it work

  • Bring a position. "Yes on balance, with exemptions" gives the essay a spine.
  • Give the evidence you have. Each paragraph is built on it, and where a point needs more, it searches the web.
  • Include the other side. One honest point against, answered, is worth more than a fourth point in favour.
  • Ask for an outline first. It is quicker to fix the order of five lines than of five paragraphs.

An example

Asked for an outline on "Should cities ban cars from their centres?", with the points yes on balance, cleaner air, streets safer on foot, shops fearing lost trade, and exemptions because disabled drivers and deliveries still need access, an outline along these lines is what to expect:

Thesis: cities should ban cars from their centres, with exemptions for disabled drivers and deliveries.
1. The air is cleaner.
2. Streets are safer on foot.
3. The case against: shops fear losing trade.
4. Why exemptions matter: disabled drivers and deliveries still need access.
Conclusion: yes on balance, provided the exemptions are part of the ban.

If the thesis is the hard part, use the thesis statement generator. The outline generator does the planning alone, the paragraph generator writes one section at a time, and how to paraphrase shows how to use a source without copying it.

Common questions

Is the essay generator free?

Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed. When free drafts are available, this tool writes the essay on this page, without an account. Otherwise it opens Hemmingway with your answers filled in, you sign up once, and the essay is written in the chat.

Does it add sources and citations?

Yes. Ask it to find sources and it searches the web, reads the pages and cites them.

Will it sound like AI?

It is built not to. Hemmingway-1.5, the model behind it, passes GPTZero & Pangram and the top AI detectors 9 times in 10. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.

Will it get past an AI detector?

In our test, 90% of Hemmingway-1.5's writing passed GPTZero & Pangram and four other detectors.
