Essay Outliner
A thesis and paragraph-by-paragraph plan you write your essay from — not a written essay.
What Essay Outliner does
Give it your essay topic and get a clear thesis plus a paragraph-by-paragraph skeleton: what each paragraph should argue and the kind of evidence to bring. It is a plan to write from, so the sentences, examples and voice stay yours. Use it to beat the blank page and to keep your essay organised from introduction to conclusion.

Not sure what to type? Click **Show example** in the form header — it fills every field with a real worked example (Class 9 · English) and shows a pre-generated result without spending any AI credits. Undo restores your draft. The runner also gives you a ✨ prompt assistant and voice input on text fields, file upload to pull in your own notes, and — where your board publishes one — an official-format proof panel.
Your document & what to do with it
The result renders as a clean A4 document you can read on screen. From the output header you can Copy it, **Export** it as a branded PDF, Word, HTML or Markdown file, or send it into an LMS course as a page activity with **Add to Course**. One click on **Save to My Resources** keeps the result in your library for later. Student tool. Students don’t browse the toolkit — you hand this tool to them by assigning it into an LMS course (Assign to course on the tool page). You can lock any field as a preset; students open it inside the course and run it there, no toolkit permission needed. This scaffolds your own writing — it maps out the structure but leaves the actual paragraphs for you to write. Handing in the outline as your essay is not the point (and teachers can tell).
