QuillBot is a writing tool best known for its paraphraser, which rewrites a sentence or paragraph in different words. It was started in 2017 by three students in the United States. In 2021 it was bought by Course Hero, which later renamed itself Learneo.
Besides the paraphraser, QuillBot has a grammar checker, a summarizer, a citation generator, a translator and an AI detector. It works on its website, as a Chrome extension, inside Microsoft Word and Google Docs, and on mobile. Different modes change the tone of a rewrite, such as formal, simple or creative. It supports many languages for paraphrasing and translation.
Most tools can be used for free with limits on length and modes. The Premium plan removes those limits and adds more rewrite modes and a plagiarism checker. Students writing essays make up a large part of its users, along with non-native English writers and people who write for work.
