Abstract Advisor
Paste your draft abstract, then copy a bespoke prompt to use with ChatGPT. The AI will identify key improvements and begin a Socratic-style dialogue to help you refine it.
Your Draft Abstract
Prompt to the AI platform (Visible excerpt)
Here is my draft abstract:
Your abstract will appear here
Please act as a Socratic advisor. Base your feedback on the principles in this reference document:

First, identify the main areas for improvement in my draft. Then begin a dialogue by asking one probing question at a time to help me refine the abstract.
Refining the AI response to your prompt
After the first response, you can steer the dialogue. For example:
- “Based on the reference document, what is the weakest part of my abstract?”
- “Help me rewrite the sentence about my methodology to be more concise.”
- “Does my abstract clearly state the ‘claim to significance’?”
