How it works

How Trazado works

Six steps. You write all of them. Trazado helps you understand the assignment, find and cite in your readings and show how you did it. It doesn't write for you.

  1. Paste your assignment

    Text, PDF or Word. Trazado reads the instructions and gives them back as a list of requirements: how many words, how many sources, which format and how much AI you may use.

    You confirm each line. The list lives next to the essay and you check items off as you go.

    Assignment · Argumentative essaySample
    • Confirmed: Between 1,500 and 2,000 words
    • Confirmed: At least 4 sources, 2 academic
    • APA 7 format, double-spaced
    • AI allowed: level 2 (review, not drafting)
    4 requirements · 2 confirmed
  2. Upload your readings

    PDF, Word, text or a page URL. Trazado reads each reading page by page and checks that every reference really exists, by DOI or by URL.

    Invented ones don't go in. Your notes and the course PDFs also work as sources.

    • Course reading 2Professor's PDF · 12 pp.Your file
    • Journal articleDOI checked in CrossrefVerified
    Invented references don't go in.
  3. Write

    An editor that already has the submission format: Times 12, double-spaced, letter size. It saves on its own and keeps track of how your text moves forward.

    It doesn't record or watch you: it only logs what happens inside the document, and that log is yours.

    2. Beyond income

    Multidimensional poverty is not explained by income alone. The CONEVAL report shows that in 2022, 36.3% of the population had at least one social deprivation

  4. Cite in one click

    While you write, Trazado shows you which passage from your readings supports or contradicts what you're saying, with the page.

    You cite it in APA 7 in one click. Direct quotes come from the real passage, never from the AI's memory.

    Sources · CONEVAL · p. 14Sample

    “…36.3% of the population had at least one social deprivation; lack of access to social security was the most widespread.”

  5. Ask the AI Companion

    What the author meant, whether your argument holds, how a sentence of yours sounds. Four modes: Clarify, Think together, Find evidence and Challenge.

    It shows you the change and you accept it or not. It accompanies; it doesn't draft for you, and it doesn't touch your citations, figures or links.

    AI Companion · ChallengeSample

    What is my argument missing?

    You say poverty fell, but not between which years. Your source, p. 14, has the 2018 and 2022 figures.

    Consulted: CONEVAL · p. 14

    It accompanies. It never writes for you.
  6. Submit

    Export to Word or PDF and generate your Authorship Passport: the summary of how you wrote it.

    You send it to your professor as a link, whenever you want, and you can turn it off at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Does Trazado write the essay for me?
No. It never drafts paragraphs, sections or theses, and it doesn't invent references. It explains the assignment, challenges you, finds evidence in your readings and reviews your sentences; you see and accept every change yourself.
What does my professor see?
The Authorship Passport: how long you worked and in how many sessions, how much you typed and how much you pasted, which sources you used and what you accepted from the AI. The text of your essay doesn't travel in the link. You decide what to include, who to send it to and when to turn it off.
Is it an AI detector?
No. It doesn't grade or accuse. It describes how the document was written inside Trazado, with a record that can't be edited afterwards. When there's a doubt, a complete record answers better than a percentage.
Which files does it work with?
The assignment: text, PDF or Word. The readings: PDF, Word, text or a page URL. When you finish you export to Word or PDF with the submission format.
Can I paste text or bring a paper I already started?
Yes. When you paste, Trazado asks where it came from and notes it in the Passport with your answer. If you import a document you already had, it's marked as imported from that date. Nothing is recorded backwards.
How much does it cost?
Starting is free: 3 projects, the full Passport, the assignment analysis, unlimited citations and 5 trial messages with the AI Companion. Plans are in Mexican pesos, tax included, on the pricing page.
