How DraftNode uses AI

Where there is no AI

Checking a document, formatting it, numbering headings, building the contents page and lists of tables and figures, captioning, styling references and checking them against scholarly records are all done by ordinary code. They behave the same way every time.

Where there is AI

When you ask DraftNode to draft a section, or to shorten, expand or change the tone of one, it sends that section’s material to Anthropic’s Claude models. Short suggestions in the questionnaire (title ideas, research questions from your objectives) may use other providers’ free models.

The rules it works under

• It drafts only from your material: your answers, notes, data and chosen sources. Where something is missing, it marks a gap for you instead of inventing it.
• It may cite only sources in your library. Any other citation is removed before you see the draft.
• Every drafted section is labelled as an AI draft until you review or edit it, and DraftNode keeps a record of who wrote what.
• From that record, you can export an honest AI-use statement to attach where your institution asks for one.
• We never offer to hide AI use, disguise how a text was written, or write work for you to submit as your own.

Your data and the model

Only the material for the section you’re working on is sent. It isn’t used to train models. Each request carries an anonymous identifier, so misuse can be traced to the account that caused it and not to everyone else.
