For students, researchers and supervisors
Your thesis, planned, sourced and written in one place.
Scrivia keeps your research questions, sources, evidence, schedule and drafts together, guides you to the next step, and connects you with a supervisor when you need one.
- No card needed to start
- Pay by M-PESA, card or PayPal
- Your work stays yours
- AI never invents sources
- 1
Topic and research questions
Shape a researchable question and objectives that line up with it.
- 2
Literature and evidence
Keep every source, quotation and claim linked to where it came from.
- 3
Methodology and plan
Schedule the work, set milestones and, if you have one, track the budget.
- 4
Data and analysis
Run analyses with real tools on your real data, and keep the scripts.
- 5
Writing and citations
Draft chapters against your institution's template and audit every reference.
- 6
Supervisor review and submission
Share drafts, turn feedback into revision tasks, submit with confidence.
Everything your research needs
One workspace from proposal to submission, so nothing lives in scattered folders and chat threads.
AI research assistants
Draft research questions, objectives and schedules, ask what to do next, and improve your writing. Use your own key or the built-in System AI. Every suggestion is a draft you approve.
References and citations
Import BibTeX or RIS, search by DOI or across scholarly databases, extract evidence from PDFs, and cite in APA, Harvard, IEEE and more.
Planning that keeps you on track
Workflow stages, a Gantt chart with dependencies and baselines, tasks, risks and a calendar, with reminders before things slip.
Write together, live
Chapters built on your institution's template, live co-editing, versions, and Word and PDF export checked against the formatting rules.
Research toolkit
Import datasets, run descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA and regression, plan sample sizes, design questionnaires and draw diagrams.
Supervisor reviews
Send a chapter for review, get comments and decisions, and turn feedback into revision tasks you can tick off.
Work from your AI assistant
On paid plans, connect Claude, Cursor or VS Code over MCP and run a project end to end from there: verified sources, every section written and checked, and a PDF ready to submit, with each AI-written section recorded for your disclosure.
Guided next steps
A checklist for each project shows what to do next, with reminders and one-click AI help where your plan includes it.

Questions
Anything else? Ask us; we reply by email.
Does the AI write my thesis?
No. It drafts questions, plans and suggested edits for you to review, and it never invents sources, citations or findings. You stay the author and you're responsible for what you submit.
Who owns my work?
You do. Download your files and export your documents any time. If a plan ends, nothing is deleted: anything above the new plan's limits stays readable and downloadable.
How does paying a supervisor work?
You agree a price with the supervisor, paid once or in milestones. Your payment is held in escrow and only released to them when you approve the work. If something goes wrong, our team resolves it.
Can I use Scrivia from Claude or another AI assistant?
Yes, on Starter and above. Create a connection under Settings → MCP access and add it to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code. The assistant works with your own permissions and Scrivia's rules: it can only cite sources in your library, missing facts stay as placeholders, and its writing is listed in the document's AI assistance record.
Can I pay with M-PESA?
Yes, along with card, Google Pay and PayPal, depending on what's enabled for your country. Plans are prepaid, so you renew when you choose to.
