Flowing

Flowing is a desktop writing application designed for researchers and students who require AI assistance while maintaining fidelity to their original sources. It allows users to import their reference PDFs into a local library, which then powers AI features that attach verifiable snippets to every suggestion.

The workflow is structured: users prepare their library, write in rich text or LaTeX, recall relevant passages by keyword, engage in contextual AI conversations, polish their work with evidence-backed rewrites, and continue writing with cited evidence rather than relying on open-ended chat. This approach ensures that academic writing remains anchored to the papers the author has actually read, making it a superior choice for literature reviews, thesis chapters, and any long-form academic writing where source accuracy is paramount.
