Your dissertation,
without the all-nighters. ✍️
Between work, load-shedding and a supervisor you mostly email, the writing keeps sliding to midnight. Tesify helps you lay out your chapters, keep your Harvard references tidy and move one section at a time. You write every word — the AI just keeps it in order.
Sound familiar? 😮💨
It’s not just you. Almost everyone writing a dissertation hits the same three walls.
Load-shedding mid-paragraph
Stage 4 hits, the laptop dies and you’re not sure what you’d saved. You start the evening by rebuilding, not writing.
A supervisor you mostly email
Studying at a distance — Unisa or otherwise — means feedback arrives in batches, and you wait a week to hear whether chapter 2 is on track.
Ethics clearance paperwork
The forms want your methodology written up properly before you’ve drafted it, and nothing moves until the committee signs off.
Your kit for actually finishing 🎒
Everything you need to keep moving. Nothing you don’t.
Writing assistant
Suggestions on what you’ve already written: flow, clarity and academic tone. You write it, it tightens it.
Originality check
Scan your own draft before you submit and fix the references that were left half-done. Hand in with a clear head.
Harvard references
In-text citations and the reference list, alphabetised and formatted while you write. No more manual tidying at 1am.
Short sessions, nothing lost
Your work saves as you type and reopens where you left it — so a 20-minute gap counts, and load-shedding costs you nothing.

Move one section at a time — even in 20 minutes between shifts — with your references building themselves as you go.
Submit and defend 🎉
Check your originality, export with the formatting sorted and walk into your defence knowing your own argument.
Integrity, always 🤝
Built for the formats and postgraduate guidelines used at UCT, Wits, Stellenbosch, UP and Unisa, and most South African universities — from your honours research report to your master’s dissertation and doctoral thesis.
What Tesify is
- An editor that breaks your dissertation into chapters so you can move through one at a time.
- An assistant that suggests how to sharpen what you’ve already written.
- Harvard citations and a reference list, built automatically as you write.
- An originality check that you run yourself, before you submit.
What it isn’t
- It doesn’t write your text: every sentence in your document is one you typed.
- It doesn’t submit for you, and it promises nothing about your examiners’ verdict.
- It doesn’t remove matches or “guarantee” a percentage.
- Your supervisor reads your writing, not somebody else’s.
The questions everyone asks 🤔
🤖 Is using AI for my dissertation cheating?
No, because you write the text. Tesify is a writing-support tool: it lays out your chapters, suggests improvements to what you’ve already drafted and builds your references. The originality check exists precisely so you catch a half-finished citation yourself, before it reaches your supervisor.
🗣️ What do I say if my supervisor asks how I wrote it?
Exactly what happened: you used an editor to structure chapters, format Harvard references and check originality — and every sentence is yours. It’s the same conversation you’d have about a reference manager. If your faculty requires you to declare AI assistance, declare it: that’s the expected thing to do.
🔌 What happens to my work when the power goes?
Your draft saves as you type, so a sudden outage doesn’t cost you the paragraph you were busy with. When you open it again it’s where you left off, with your chapter list intact — which is what makes short sessions between bouts of load-shedding worth using.
📋 Can it help with the methodology chapter for ethics clearance?
It helps you get the chapter written and structured — research design, sampling, instruments, how you’ll handle data — so you have something proper to submit to the committee. The ethical judgements themselves stay with you and your supervisor; Tesify won’t decide them for you.
💸 Is it really free?
The free plan stays free — no card, no trial timer. There’s a paid plan; you’ll see it inside the app, never before you’ve written anything.
📚 Does it do Harvard referencing?
Yes: in-text citations and a reference list, alphabetised and consistently formatted. Harvard varies a little between departments, so check your faculty guide — the final call on formatting is always yours.
🎓 Does it work for an honours research report, a dissertation and a thesis?
Yes — an honours research report, a master’s dissertation and a doctoral thesis. The chapter structure is the same shape throughout; what changes is depth and scope, and that part is yours.
