How it works

1

Ask a question

Type any research question in plain language. ClearCite searches across licensed publisher networks to find relevant, paywalled content.

2

Review real sources

Results include licensed, paywalled journalism alongside highly credible free sources — all verified before they reach you. No hallucinated links, no fabricated citations.

3

Unlock what you need

Preview snippets for free. When you're ready for full content or an AI-generated summary, unlock individual sources for just a few cents each.

4

Build & export

Organize your sources into a structured outline, generate a polished report with inline citations, and export as Markdown.

Why ClearCite?

Verified, not fabricated

Every source is fetched from a real publisher through licensed content protocols. Other AI tools hallucinate citations. ClearCite only surfaces sources it can prove exist.

Pay per source, not per month

No subscription required. Fund your wallet and spend only when you unlock content. Most sources cost just a few cents — far less than a single paywall subscription.

Reports with real citations

Generate publication-ready reports with inline citations that link back to genuine, licensed articles — not dead links or fabricated references.

A complete research workspace

ClearCite isn't just a chatbot. It's a structured workflow that takes you from question to finished report.

Chat

Ask questions, explore topics, and discover licensed sources through a conversational AI interface.

Outline

Organize your best sources into a structured outline. Assign articles to sections and shape your argument.

Report

Research you can actually cite.

Stop guessing whether your sources are real. ClearCite gives you licensed journalism, structured workflows, and reports worth publishing — all without a subscription.
