On tlooto’s main page, just below the input box, you’ll find five core response modes: Auto, Smart Referencing, Academic Augmentation, Paraphrasing, and Academic Question. These modes are located at the bottom left of the prompt box, and can be activated automatically or selected manually depending on the task. Each mode is designed not simply to perform a function, but to reduce the time and effort researchers spend on key academic tasks. For example, tasks such as writing a research proposal — which typically require several days — can be completed in less than 30 minutes when using tlooto’s these new features effectively. This result is based on real use cases.
Below is an overview of each mode, outlining its primary function and usage context.
Auto

Each of these modes was developed based on direct feedback from researchers, shaped by the challenges they face in their actual writing and research workflows. Rather than offering generic features, we focused on building tools that address specific academic needs such as formulating research questions, refining drafts, and sourcing credible literature. If you take a bit of time to get familiar with how each mode works, we believe tlooto can become a practical, dependable companion in your research process.
