In an age when AI gives the answers,
we grow the power to think.

Ronwrite is a learning platform for high school and university students that uses AI to teach thinking, writing, and reflection.

From class reflections to reports and research papers, we support the process of learners thinking for themselves and putting their ideas into writing.

Ronwrite solves challenges like these

We want every student to have in-depth discussions in class

AI assistant helping a student explore academic fields in class
AI discusses in depth with each student, and instructors can review those conversations

We want students to develop writing and thinking skills themselves, without handing the work over to AI

Instructor view comparing pasted text with the current draft
Provide a system for assigning reports and writing that students cannot hand off to AI

We want to build a guidance system for research, reports, and academic papers

Learner Voices

Excerpts from 80 university students who used the program

University Student A

Even as someone just starting paragraph writing, I could work on writing in a relaxed state. … Even though writing isn’t my strength, I enjoyed learning how to structure pieces, what to write, and in what order, so I would recommend it to others who also feel hesitant about writing.

University Student B

I’m really bad at structuring sentences, so I’m thrilled that an app like this exists. … Compared to ChatGPT, it feels like there’s less AI and more emphasis on thinking for yourself, so I feel okay using this kind of AI app a lot (for studying).

University Student C

The hamburger structure—topic sentence, evidence, and concluding sentence—was clearly explained. Hints helped when I got stuck, and sample texts after finishing helped me see areas to improve. …It’s very easy to use, and I want to keep using it for writing going forward.
