"The teacher of writing" — an AI built to teach every researcher how to write for the world.
Why the name matters

Built in Africa, for every researcher who was never taught the unwritten rules.

No one teaches you that The Lancet requires a structured abstract with a specific subheading. No one tells you that EDCTP has a dedicated track for NCD researchers. No one shows you that 14 of your references need to be in Vancouver superscript before an editor will read a single word of your science.

ApwonyCoch AI teaches you all of it — automatically, specifically, and in time to do something about it.

Why it exists

The problems every researcher knows personally

These are not abstract pain points. They are things that happened to you — probably more than once.

01

Desk-rejected in 48 hours

Three months of work. Two days to rejection — not because of your science, but because your word count was wrong, your references were in the wrong format, or your scope didn't match. None of that was clearly explained anywhere.

"I did not even know the journal had a 3,000-word limit. Nobody told me."
02

Systematic reviews take months of manual work

Deduplication by hand. Screening hundreds of abstracts alone at midnight. Formatting a PRISMA diagram in PowerPoint. Passing Excel files over WhatsApp. This is where research careers stall and burn out.

"I screened 400 articles alone. It took eight weeks. I nearly quit my PhD."
03

Grants you never knew existed

Wellcome, EDCTP, Gates, EU Horizon — they all fund researchers doing important work. Finding the right opportunity before the deadline, and writing a proposal that speaks the funder's language, is nearly impossible without the right network.

"I found out about the grant three days after the deadline. I still think about it."
What it does

Three tools. One platform. AI throughout.

ApwonyCoch AI handles the technical groundwork so you can focus entirely on your research.

1

Select your target journal. Guidelines for 500+ journals — Lancet, BMJ, PLOS ONE, African Health Sciences, East African Medical Journal, and more.

2

Upload your manuscript. PDF or DOCX. ApwonyCoch AI parses the full text, counts every word, checks structure, and scans every reference.

3

Get your readiness report. AI checks scope fit, word count, abstract format, reference style, ethics statements, data availability, and funding declarations — everything an editor checks before reading your science.

4

Fix it before you submit. Not "check your references" — "14 of your 42 references are not in Vancouver superscript format." Specific. Actionable. Before it matters.

ApwonyCoch AI
Add a "Patient and Public Involvement" section — mandatory for BMJ Open. A single paragraph on whether patients were involved in study design is sufficient.
1

Import your articles. RIS, BibTeX, PubMed, or CSV. Duplicates removed automatically — no Excel needed.

2

Screen with AI assistance. ApwonyCoch AI suggests include/exclude for every abstract based on your PICO criteria. Protocol key terms highlighted automatically.

3

Two-reviewer blinding. Invite a co-reviewer. Decisions stay hidden until both submit. Conflicts flagged and resolved by the lead reviewer.

4

Extract, assess quality, synthesise. AI pre-fills your data extraction form. RoB 2 and CASP assessment built in. PRISMA 2020 diagram generated automatically.

1

Tell us your research focus. Your field, career stage, country, and key topics. Two minutes to set up.

2

We find the grants. ApwonyCoch AI scans NIH, Wellcome, Gates Foundation, EDCTP, EU Horizon, and more — ranked by how well they match your profile.

3

AI explains the match. A specific explanation of why you are a strong candidate, what to emphasise, and what gaps to address before you apply.

4

Draft your proposal. Specific aims, significance, approach, innovation, budget — drafted from your profile and the grant's requirements. You shape it; AI builds it.

Who it's for

For every researcher carrying the science, the writing, and the grant applications — alone

If you have ever submitted without knowing all the rules, screened 200 abstracts alone, or missed a grant because you did not know it existed — this is for you.

🎓

PhD students & postdocs

First papers, first systematic review, first fellowship application. Every hour saved is an hour back in your research.

🏥

Clinical researchers

Working in hospitals where research support barely exists. You carry the science and the writing. ApwonyCoch AI carries the rest.

🌍

Public health researchers

Working on problems that matter urgently — navigating journals and funders that were not always designed with you in mind.

👥

Research teams

Small groups doing systematic reviews together — needing a real shared workspace, not a spreadsheet sent over WhatsApp at midnight.

Why is the free plan so generous? Because we were the researcher with no budget, no institutional support, and no mentor who knew which grants existed. ApwonyCoch AI exists to level that playing field — the free plan has to be genuinely useful, not a teaser. The 750-article limit covers the vast majority of focused systematic reviews.
