How an outline makes the essay easier
An essay outline is the argument of the essay without its prose. It has the thesis, the points in the order they will be made, and the evidence under each point. When the outline is right, the writing is mostly a matter of sentences. When there is no outline, you find out on page three that the second point does not support the thesis.
The test of an outline is that each point is a full sentence. “Economic effects” is a subject and you cannot argue with it. “Unemployment stayed above 14 percent until 1940” is a point, and it tells you at once which evidence you need.
This template writes the outline and stops there. It does not write the paragraphs, because the essay is your work and the writing is where you learn the material. When you add your sources to the project, the evidence lines name the source they come from, so you can go back and check each one.
How it works
Say what it is about
Name a topic, or add a PDF, a lecture video, an article or your own notes. With files, the result is written from them.
Winda makes it
The template sets the form, so you do not write a prompt. You choose the model that does the work: Claude, GPT, Gemini and others.
Keep it and change it
The result is saved in your project beside your files and chats. Ask for a change in the chat, or make flashcards and a quiz from the same material.
