What Conch AI Citation Generator is

Conch AI Citation Generator creates bibliography entries for academic papers in APA, MLA, or Chicago style. It supports websites, books, and academic journals, with APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, and Chicago 17th edition notes/bibliography options. You can copy a formatted citation without signing up. If you leave the author fields blank, the citation begins with the title. The maker says formatting and text calculations happen in your browser and source details are not stored on a server. The standalone tool is browser based, while Conch’s Chrome extension works on desktop. The wider Conch writing workspace can capture cited sources and format them in APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard. Signed-up workspace users receive 10 free credits daily, with each action using 1 to 4 credits. The generator has a free plan; workspace plans start at $12 per year, billed annually. Conch presents its broader platform for student study and writing, and its terms state that the site is intended for users aged 18 or older.
