Academic writing platform Jenni AI has launched a set of tools designed to identify unsupported claims, verify citations, and assess research papers before submission, as it expands its presence in Philippine universities.
The new Reviews suite includes Claim Confidence, which checks the claims and sources in a draft, flags information that may be misrepresented or unverified, and recommends citations when supporting evidence is missing.
The feature seeks to address a persistent problem with generative AI systems: their tendency to produce fabricated or inaccurate references that may appear credible to users.
A second tool, Peer Review, evaluates a paper using a standardized rubric and provides comments on its strengths and weaknesses before it is submitted to a journal.
“The objection we hear from Philippine faculty is never ‘AI is bad’. It’s ‘can I trust what it produced and are the sources AI is referencing real?’,” said Justin Wong, head of commercial operations at Jenni AI.
“Claim Confidence exists because that’s a fair question. If a tool puts a citation in your paper, it should be able to show you the source and tell you when it can’t.”
Jenni AI said its platform is being used by Mapúa University, the University of Santo Tomas, Cebu Technological University, Central Philippine University, Holy Angel University, Laguna State Polytechnic University, and De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute.
The platform also offers an AI Declaration command that inserts a formal acknowledgment of AI use into a paper. Jenni AI said the declaration has been used in more than 100 published papers.
Jenni AI works with research papers uploaded by users and integrates with reference-management software Zotero and Mendeley. The platform links AI-generated text to its cited sources to allow users to check the underlying literature.
The rollout comes as the Commission on Higher Education develops a policy on the responsible use of AI in education. Research by the Second Congressional Commission on Education has also found that Philippine higher education institutions are introducing measures involving academic integrity, assessment design, and AI literacy.
Jenni AI, which is headquartered in Delaware in the United States, said its platform is used by more than 6.5 million students, researchers, and academics worldwide.
