We're in public beta
After several months of building and internal testing, Folio is open to the public. Here's what's shipping in 1.0.0.
Document Audit
AI review of your full document — argument structure, citation coverage, logical consistency. It produces a structured report with specific, actionable feedback. Not a grammar checker. A thinking partner that reads the whole paper and tells you where the argument is thin, where you're missing citations, and where the logic doesn't follow.
Proofreading
Line-by-line language review. Grammar, spelling, clarity, style. Works on a text selection or the full document. Each suggestion shows the original and proposed change so you can accept or dismiss individually.
Collaboration
Share documents with other Folio users. Two access levels: Viewer (read and comment) and Commenter (same as Viewer for now — the role will expand in a future release). Editing stays with the document owner. Inline comments anchored to specific text selections. Resolve and unresolve comment threads.
Plan structure
Three plans:
- Scholar (free) — editor, source library, citation formatting, and export. Everything you need to write and cite. No AI features.
- Fellow — full AI feature access with daily limits. Cold Start, Scholar AI, Audit, and Proofread.
- Chair — higher limits for heavier research workflows. Everything in Fellow with more room to work.
What's not in 1.0.0
- Mobile app (under consideration)
- Real-time collaborative editing (view and comment are available — live co-editing is on the roadmap)
- Reference import from Zotero/Mendeley (planned)
