Writers juggle dozens of tabs when compiling references, often missing links or misattributing.

Build a tool that scans drafts for claim/source pairs (via LLM or regex), then inserts formatted citations like '[1]' with auto-generated bibliography.

Freemium model: free for 10 citations/month, paid for unlimited.

Launch with Markdown/Google Docs support first.
