NINJA AI TOOL

🥷 A Boost For Your Research and Writing Workflow

If you've ever stared at a pile of PDFs thinking “Where do I even start?”, you're not alone. Research-heavy writing can be a slog—but Jenni AI is trying to make that process smoother.

It’s an AI-powered workspace built to help you read, write, and organize your research without feeling overwhelmed. You can upload papers, ask questions about them, get summaries, build outlines, and even have Jenni help you write—complete with proper citations.

Here’s what it does well:

  • Helps you generate in-text citations in over 1,700 styles (APA, MLA, Chicago—you name it)

  • Summarizes and chats with your uploaded PDFs so you don’t have to comb through every page

  • Suggests sentences as you write (great for fighting writer’s block)

  • Builds outlines from a simple prompt

  • Lets you paraphrase, rewrite, and export to LaTeX or Word

  • Supports over 30 languages, and yes—there’s a dark mode

How people are using it:

  • Students use it to draft papers and cite sources faster

  • Researchers use it to digest complex material and organize notes

  • Freelance writers and bloggers lean on it for long-form drafts with solid structure

  • Non-native English speakers use it to polish tone and clarity

It’s not magic, and it’s not going to write a full paper for you. But if you already know what you want to say, Jenni can help you get there faster—and with fewer tabs open.

One heads-up:
Jenni’s not great if you’re starting from zero. It’s more of a co-writer than a ghostwriter. You’ll still need to think critically and guide the work—but it takes a lot of the grunt work off your plate.

If you’re curious, you can give it a spin here.
There’s a free plan, so no pressure—just poke around and see if it fits how you work.

1. Visit Pipet

Go to Pipet’s Website and sign up for a free account — the AI Talking Photo tool is currently free to use!

Choose from various voice styles and languages. Each voice has its own tone and delivery style — great for different use cases like formal videos, storytelling, or casual marketing content.

5. Customize Captions (Optional)

You can toggle animated captions on or off, and choose a style that matches your brand or content tone.

6. Export Your Video
