Product Updates

Everything we have shipped for you recently, and a look at what’s on the horizon.

  • Plan limits

    The free plan has 10 tutor questions and 3 lookups a day, 3 topics, and memory of 1 earlier essay. Pro has a larger tutor budget instead of a daily count.

  • Kiln Pro

    A paid plan: unlimited topics, memory of 3 earlier essays, and a larger tutor budget. The Upgrade page has the price.

  • A tutor that reads your earlier essays

    After your first take, the margin can ask about what you wrote before in the same topic. It names the essay and quotes you.

  • Turn the tutor off

    A default in Settings and a switch on each essay. While it is off, nothing you write goes to a model.

  • A margin that folds away

    Collapse the margin to a thin rail for focused writing. A badge counts the questions waiting.

  • Choose your avatar

    A marble bust for your account: twelve philosophers and nine scientists and makers.

  • Support & Feedback

    Tell Kiln what broke or what you would like, from Settings, with a screenshot if it helps.

  • Topics hold many essays

    A topic is a page of essays side by side: different angles or later attempts, kept separate.

  • New essay asks which topic

    A quick picker: search your topics, or name a new one without leaving the keyboard.

  • Sources

    A bibliography on every essay and topic. Paste a link and Kiln fills in the title and site.

  • Settings

    Light, dark, or system; your account; and how Kiln works, in one place.

  • A worked essay comes with every account

    The Case Against the Trauma Plot, with margin questions answered, skipped, and still open.

  • A new look

    Paper and ink in light and dark, a sidebar, and a command palette to jump anywhere.

  • A daily budget

    Model spend has daily limits: counts on the free plan, an included budget on Pro, and an overall cap.

  • Resolve refuses copies

    A reply that repeats the question, the passage, or the source is refused, with the copied words marked.

  • The margin asks on your schedule

    As you write, or only when you press Ask.

  • Due and Continue lead the home screen

    What is due, where to pick up, and cold-recall dates at 48 hours and 7 days.

  • Lookup, then say it back

    Ask directly and be told. Every answer is counted, and the margin asks you to say it back.

  • The first version

    Your first take comes first, and the margin only asks.
