> Paste your essay assignment, topic or thesis and Notedly writes an outline with a working thesis, body paragraphs and a conclusion. Your first outline is free, no account needed.

## What you get

- **A plan, not an essay.** A working thesis, an introduction, three to five body paragraphs with their main points and the kind of evidence to use, and a conclusion.
- **Built from your notes.** Paste your notes or sources with the assignment and the body paragraphs are built from them. Notedly doesn't make up quotes or citations.

## How it works

1. **Paste the assignment:** Paste the essay prompt, your topic or a draft thesis. Add any notes, readings or sources you want the essay to use.
2. **Generate the outline:** Click Generate outline. Notedly writes a working thesis and an outline from the introduction through the conclusion.
3. **Make it yours:** Rework the thesis in your own words, find the evidence each paragraph calls for, then write the essay yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

**Is the essay outline generator free?**

Yes. Your first outline works without an account. After that, a free account includes 10,000 words a month, shared with summaries of readings and YouTube videos. Premium is $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year for 500,000 words a month.

**What should I paste?**

At least the assignment or your topic. A draft thesis, your class notes or the sources you plan to cite make the outline more specific to your essay. Keep it under 5,000 characters.

**Is using an outline generator cheating?**

An outline is a plan, and you still research and write the essay. Follow your course's rules on AI use, and cite the sources you actually read, not the outline.
