# Litero AI > Ethical AI writing assistant that helps you research, write, and cite more efficiently with source-based content creation tools. Litero AI is an ethical AI writing assistant designed to help content creators, educators, researchers, and business professionals write up to 10x faster while maintaining authorship and integrity. The platform positions itself as a writing partner rather than a substitute, offering source-based AI tools that guide users through the entire content creation process from research to final formatting. The platform scans over 100 million sources from legitimate libraries including JSTOR, Google Scholar, and DOI to provide verifiable references from 2020-2025.
