Kahubi for PhD students

Your thesis is a marathon. Stop losing miles to tool-switching.

A PhD means being the literature person, the methods person, the stats person, and the writer — usually in the same week. Kahubi puts all four jobs in one workspace: a library the AI actually reads, real statistics, EU-based transcription, and drafts that compile to PDF.

Free plan included. No credit card required.

Where Kahubi fits your work

Library chat

Two hundred PDFs, one conversation

Your reading list becomes a library the agent can search, read, and cite. Ask what the field says about your question and get answers grounded in your own collection.

Systematic review

The literature review chapter, structured

From research question to search keys, screening, and a written review that follows PRISMA or Cochrane — the chapter your committee expects, with the process documented.

Statistics

Analysis without begging for software licenses

Upload your data and run t-tests, ANOVA, regression, PCA, or reliability analysis in the workspace. Results are written into your draft with the numbers intact.

Writing voice

Sound like a scholar — your kind of scholar

Kahubi learns your writing style from your own texts, so drafts start in your voice. Supervisors notice generic AI prose; this is the opposite of that.

Monitor

Never get scooped by surprise

Follow the authors and topics that matter to your thesis. Kahubi checks for new work and emails you a digest, so committee meetings never open with a paper you have not seen.

Journal submission

From chapter to submission

Find the right venue, check the author guidelines, format the manuscript, and track deadlines — the unglamorous last mile, handled.

AI chat

Chat with your library, not a generic chatbot

Kahubi answers from the papers, drafts, datasets, and transcripts you actually have. Type @ to pull any source into the conversation; the agent reads it, searches your library, and cites what it used.

  • @-mention papers, drafts, datasets, interviews, and files
  • Select text in any PDF to explain, summarize, or translate it
  • Agent searches OpenAlex and the web, and imports papers for you

Writing

Write accurate manuscripts, grounded in your sources

Draft in a clean editor and let the AI help — it writes in your voice, learned from your own publications, and every paragraph stays anchored to the papers, data, and notes you actually have, never invented. Read it as a formatted PDF, edit it like a Word document, or drop into LaTeX when you want fine control.

  • Writes in your voice: a style profile learned from your published work, not a generic chatbot register
  • Grounded in your library: the AI writes from your real papers and data, and cites what it used
  • One click to a compiled PDF, plus Word (.docx) export and full version history

What changes

  • One place for the reading, the data, and the writing — your future self will find everything
  • A real free tier that covers early thesis work, and student-friendly pricing after that
  • Transcription for your interview study, processed in the EU
  • Grant and ethics application flows for when those forms arrive
  • Your supervisor gets drafts that compile, cite correctly, and sound like you

Common questions

Is using Kahubi allowed for a PhD?
Kahubi is a workspace, not a ghostwriter: it grounds drafts in your sources, marks unsupported claims, and keeps you in control of every screening decision and every sentence. Most institutions permit AI assistance with disclosure — check your university’s policy, and Kahubi’s process documentation makes disclosure straightforward.
I already have hundreds of PDFs. Do I have to start over?
No — upload your existing collection and the agent reads it as-is. Reference metadata is resolved automatically, and imports from your reference manager are supported.
What does it cost on a PhD stipend?
There is a genuine free tier, and paid plans start at $19/month with a predictable monthly cost.
