The idea
A Folio plan designed for universities, writing centers, and research departments. Centralized billing, managed seat allocation, and usage reporting for administrators. One license covers the department — no individual subscriptions needed. Students and researchers get access through their institution, the same way they access journal databases or writing labs.
Why it matters
Academic institutions already pay for writing and research tools. A department-wide Folio license gives every student and researcher access to AI-powered writing assistance, source management, and citation formatting without the friction of individual signups and payments. For writing centers, it means being able to recommend a single tool that covers the whole workflow.
Where we are
This feature shipped. Institutions run on their own branded subdomain with membership-based access, an admin console, and per-role feature entitlements. See setting up your institution to get started. (Single sign-on is the one piece still in progress — track it here.)
