From literature pile to first draft, without losing the thread
Pilgrim keeps your sources, synthesis, and draft in one workspace. Add a paper, understand where it fits, and write with attribution already woven in. The part that usually takes days takes hours.
How researchers use Pilgrim
Pilgrim supports the whole arc, from gathering the first paper to exporting a completed draft with citations intact.
Add every source in one place
PDFs, URLs, saved web pages, and raw notes all go into a single project. Pilgrim indexes the full text of each source and extracts citation metadata automatically. You stop wasting time on manual bibliography entry.
Ask questions across all sources at once
Type a question and the synthesis view shows you which sources address it, where they agree, where they contradict, and where the record is silent. This is the map of your literature, not just a search result.
Write with attribution wired in from the start
The drafting canvas works alongside your synthesis. As you write, every claim is linked to the passage it came from. When you are done, citations come out in APA, MLA, or Chicago, formatted and complete.
The hours researchers report getting back
"I used to keep four browser tabs, a Zotero window, and a notes doc open at the same time and still lose the thread. Now everything is in one place and I can ask what the literature actually says on a question without re-reading everything."
