For Researchers & Journalists

Your argument shouldn't break as your document grows.

Turn research notes and scattered sources into long-form writing that stays logically connected — from first draft to final version.

Sound familiar?

Your argument gets harder to track

At 10 pages, the logic was tight. At 40, you're not sure if Section 5 still supports the claim you made in Section 2. The argument drifts and you can't see it.

Research lives in one place, writing in another

Your sources are in Zotero, notes in Google Docs, drafts in Word. Every time you write, you're switching tabs and losing your train of thought.

Revisions break what was working

You restructure a section and suddenly the flow is gone. The data that backed your argument is no longer where it should be. Three revisions in, the document is worse than before.

How Slima Helps

Research and writing, finally in one place

A workspace where your sources inform your argument and your structure holds — no matter how complex the document gets.

Focused Writing Environment

Work inside a distraction-free space designed for long-form thinking. Split panes let you write with your research notes visible right beside your document.

Focus

Research Integrated Into the Document

Notes, sources, and findings live inside the same project as your writing. As your argument develops, the evidence stays connected — not buried in another tool.

Integration

Consistent Arguments Across the Document

The AI reads your entire project, not just the current paragraph. It catches when a revision in one section contradicts the logic elsewhere.

Consistency

Start writing from your research

Bring notes, sources, and drafts into a connected workspace. Develop complex writing without losing the structure of your thinking.

Open the Writing Studio

Built for complex, evidence-based writing

Whether it's a thesis, an investigative piece, or a policy brief — Slima holds the structure while you build the argument.

Academic Research & Theses

Manage literature reviews, methodology sections, and findings in one project. The AI flags when your conclusions drift from your evidence.

Investigative Journalism

Keep sources, interview notes, and timeline reconstructions connected to your draft. Never lose track of what supports what.

Books & Long-Form Nonfiction

Write chapters that build on each other. Branching lets you try different structures without losing the original.

Policy Briefs & Reports

Structure complex arguments with supporting data. Keep executive summaries aligned with the detailed analysis below.

Research and writing, side by side

Split-pane editing lets you write with your sources visible. The AI keeps the argument consistent.

Section 3 claims a 34% increase, but your source data in research-notes.md shows 28%. Consider reconciling the figures before continuing.

Beyond Google Docs

Word processors weren't built for this.

Google Docs and Word are great for simple documents. But when your writing has 40 pages, 12 sources, and a complex argument — you need structure.

Questions

Is this like Scrivener?
Scrivener is great for long-form structure but lacks AI analysis. Slima adds context-aware AI that reads your entire project, catches inconsistencies, and helps you maintain logical coherence across sections.
Can I import from Google Docs or Word?
You can paste content or import Markdown files. We're designed to work alongside your existing tools, not replace all of them.
Does the AI check my sources?
The AI doesn't verify external facts, but it does check internal consistency — whether your citations support your claims, whether figures match across sections, and whether your argument holds together.
Can I collaborate with co-authors?
The current version is optimized for individual deep work. Cloud sync keeps your project accessible across devices. Co-authoring features are on our roadmap.
Is my research data safe?
Yes. Your data is encrypted, stored locally on the desktop app, and never used for AI training. You have full control over your work.

Your research deserves writing that holds together.
