Meet your study companion

Your work.
Your words.
Your record.

A little less worry.
A little more room to think.

Research, gather your thoughts and write in one place. Marvin keeps a record as your work develops, so you can look back and explain how you got there.

Your writing stays yoursSources alongside your ideasA record you can revisit

How it works

From first thought to final draft.

Start wherever you are. Move between reading, planning and writing at your own pace.

01

Gather your sources

Read webpages and PDFs. Capture useful passages, add your own notes and keep references close by.

02

Make it your own

Plan your sections and develop your ideas in the draft. Marvin can ask guiding questions where your assignment’s AI rules allow.

03

Review and export

Revisit your writing and references, then export your work to submit through your institution’s own service.

Your workspace

Keep the thinking
with the writing.

Fewer scattered notes. More space to work through an idea.

  • Research beside your draft

    Keep sources, notes and your plan within reach as you write.

  • References that stay connected

    Captured passages retain their source details. Add your own references and choose a citation style.

  • Room to change your mind

    Automatic saving and retained versions help you revisit how your work developed.

  • Keep working offline

    Edit downloaded work in the Windows app during your session. Changes sync when you reconnect.

How green spaces shape city life

Working draft

A place to pause

A park can be more than a space between buildings. It gives people somewhere to stop, meet and spend time outdoors.

I want to explore how the way a space is designed affects who feels welcome there.

Your ideas, in your own words.

A companion for your thinking

A useful question.
Your own answer.

Marvin’s AI guidance helps you think through your work. It does not write or rewrite assessed work for you, and assistance follows the rules recorded for your assignment.

Marvin might ask“Which of your sources gives you the strongest reason to think that?”

You can keep researching, planning and writing when AI assistance is unavailable.

Context for a conversationA record can help explain the process. It is not proof of authorship or a score for originality.

Clear boundariesCaptured research and recorded work belong in the history. Private Student Portal sessions stay separate.

You choose when to submitExport and submit through your institution, then record the submission in Marvin. Independent checks are optional.

A few useful answers

Before you begin.

Who is Marvin for?

Marvin is a workspace for students, with university study at its heart. Add your studies and assignments, gather sources and develop your own writing.

Will Marvin write my assignment?

No. Marvin offers guiding questions where the recorded AI rules allow. Your ideas, decisions and assessed writing remain your own.

Can I bring in writing I started elsewhere?

Yes. Text copied from outside Marvin is labelled External text. This can include your own writing; the label describes where the text entered the workspace, not who wrote it.

Does the record prove my work is original?

No. It provides context about recorded work and how it developed. It does not certify authorship, guarantee an assessment outcome or replace your institution’s judgement.

Do I have to complete an independent check?

No. Personal review questions and independent checks are optional. You can continue editing and export your work without completing them. Submit through your institution’s own service.

Where can I use Marvin?

The Windows x64 app is available from Downloads, and you can sign in to the web workspace. Windows requires a connection to sign in; downloaded work can then be edited offline during the session. Other platform downloads are not yet available.
