Fast Understanding of Complex Texts 

Lighthouse helps students quickly 

• Identify central claims and research questions

• Understand article structure and argument flow 

• Surface missing context

We aim to move students from the reading to synthesis stage more efficiently. 

Built-In Credibility and Bias Analysis 

Rather than requiring students to manually assess every source, Lighthouse: 

• Highlights potential bias and framing 

• Flags weak or unsupported claims 

• Surfaces credibility indicators (author expertise, sourcing, publication context) 

This supports higher-quality source selection and stronger arguments

Instant, Usable Citations 

Streamline one of the most time-consuming parts of academic work: 

• Generate instant citations in common academic formats 

• Clearly connect claims to their sources 

• Reduces citation errors and accidental plagiarism 

• Bookmark your sources for later use 

Support Deep Reading and Synthesis 

Lighthouse helps broaden the reading landscape, helping students: 

• Compare multiple sources efficiently

• Identify points of agreement and disagreement

• Track how ideas evolve across texts

This is especially valuable for literature reviews, research papers, and capstone projects.
