Who makes CiteOwl
Alexander Matuška
AI engineer from Slovakia
Why I built it
AI tools write fluent paragraphs and invent the sources behind them. A student usually finds out when the examiner looks up a reference that doesn't exist.
I built CiteOwl to write the other way round. It finds the sources first, cites the passage each claim rests on, and shows every change it makes so you decide what stays.
Who I am
- AI engineer in the insurance industry
- Built AI agents for the legal industry
- Master's in computer science from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava
- Writing software since I was a teenager
Who it's for
Students writing an essay, a seminar paper or a thesis, who want every source to hold up when someone checks it.
What I hold CiteOwl to
- Every citation points to a source that exists, with the passage it rests on
- Every change the AI makes waits for you, and you can reject any of it
- Your writing is never sold, never used for advertising and never used to train an AI model
