CiteBuddy

CiteBuddy is an AI-powered add-in for Microsoft Word that manages footnotes and legal citations. It is built for law students and legal professionals who need to check citation accuracy and format references correctly within a document. The add-in installs into Word and pairs with an AI chat panel for reviewing sources and PDFs.

Users can upload PDFs directly in the chat, and CiteBuddy's AI extracts key information to generate citation suggestions. Smart footnote suggestions, powered by AI agents, are integrated directly into the Word document the user is working on, while citation verification automatically checks accuracy across the supported citation styles, helping catch errors before a document is submitted or filed.

CiteBuddy supports five citation styles: OSCOLA, Bluebook, Harvard, APA and Chicago Manual of Style. It is currently in beta testing, with Starter, Professional and Premium plans priced monthly in euros and open for waitlist signup; the Premium plan adds team collaboration, custom citation templates and API access.
