Jenni AI alternative
A Jenni AI alternative that turns the work in too.
Jenni AI is built for long-form academic writing, outlines, citations, drafting. Where it stops is the same place most writing tools stop: you still have to format the output and submit it yourself before the deadline.
Minutely covers the same writing job, in your own voice, and then closes the loop, formatting the file and submitting it into Canvas or emailing your professor at the exact deadline.
