Frequently asked questions
Is the thesis written by AI?
No. It is template-based: your text is inserted into one fixed sentence frame per essay type, two frames each, and nothing is analysed, checked or reworded. If your inputs are rough, the output is rough. The sentences are scaffolding for you to rewrite, not finished prose.
Why does the argumentative thesis ignore my topic?
Both argumentative frames use only your position and reasons: “Although some may argue otherwise, [position] because [reasons].” The topic still appears in the header of the output, but not in the sentences. Types analytical, expository, compare and cause do insert the topic. If your position does not already name the subject, state it inside the position box.
How do I word the reasons so the sentence reads well?
It depends on the frame. “Because” (argumentative A, compare A) wants clauses, such as “teenagers sleep too little”. “Through”, “as demonstrated by”, “particularly through”, “regarding” and “as a result of” want noun phrases, such as “longer teenage sleep”. Using clauses in a noun-phrase frame gives output like “as demonstrated by teenagers need more sleep”, which you will need to fix by hand.
What does it do with two reasons versus three?
With two reasons it joins them with “and”. With a third filled in it uses commas and “and” before the last, so “a, b, and c”. Reason 3 is the only optional box; empty reasons 1 or 2 are replaced by “[reason 1]” and “[reason 2]”, and an empty position becomes “[your argument]”.
Does it change capitalisation and punctuation?
It trims spaces and removes sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ? ; : ,) from each box, so a pasted full stop does not appear mid-sentence. The topic gets an initial capital only when the sentence begins with it (expository A and cause A). Other words are left exactly as typed, including proper nouns.
Which essay types are supported?
Argumentative, analytical, expository, compare and contrast, and cause and effect. The compare frames do not ask for two subjects; they use one topic plus your position, so name both items in the topic or position (for example “remote and on-site work”).
Is the result a good thesis?
Not by itself. A strong thesis makes a claim others could dispute and is narrow enough to prove in the length you have. The tool cannot test whether your position is arguable or your reasons are distinct. Reread the sentence and ask whether a reader could reasonably disagree with it.
How the thesis templates are assembled
Topic, position, reasons
The generator takes five text boxes and an essay type, then fills a sentence frame. The position is a complete claim, such as “schools should start later”. The reasons are what supports it, and the topic is the subject area. Because the frames are fixed, the quality of each output depends mostly on how you phrase those boxes. Each essay type has two frames, labelled Option A and Option B in the output.
| Essay type | Option A frame | Uses topic? |
|---|---|---|
| Argumentative | Although some may argue otherwise, P because R. | No |
| Analytical | An analysis of T reveals that P through R. | Yes |
| Expository | T can be understood through R, all of which contribute to P. | Yes |
| Compare and contrast | While both sides of T share common ground, P because R. | Yes |
| Cause and effect | T leads to P as a result of R. | Yes |
One real run
With the topic “school start times”, the position “schools should start later”, and the noun-phrase reasons “longer teenage sleep” and “higher attendance”, the analytical type printed: “An analysis of school start times reveals that schools should start later through longer teenage sleep and higher attendance.” Option B printed: “By examining school start times, it becomes clear that schools should start later, particularly through longer teenage sleep and higher attendance.” Both read cleanly because the reasons suit a “through” frame.
When the wording clashes
With the argumentative type, the clause reasons “teenagers sleep too little” and “attendance suffers”, and the same position, Option A printed “Although some may argue otherwise, schools should start later because teenagers sleep too little and attendance suffers.” That one is fine. Option B, however, printed “...as demonstrated by teenagers sleep too little and attendance suffers”, which does not read correctly. Neither frame is wrong; they simply want different grammar from the same boxes. Pick the option that fits, then edit the other.
Turning the output into your own thesis
Treat the statements as a skeleton. Replace the stock opening phrases with wording that fits your essay, check that every reason will get its own paragraph, and make the position specific enough that a reader could argue against it. The template cannot do any of that for you, which is why it prints the same short list of reminders under every result, and why your own revision is the real work.
