How Does Our Free AI Essay Outline Generator Work?

Add your prompt and notes

Paste the essay prompt, grading rubric highlights, and any notes from class or readings. You can use content created with the Free AI Note Taker or iOS app as input.

Generate an essay outline with AI

Choose the type of essay you need—argumentative, analytical, compare-and-contrast, or general 5-paragraph. The AI turns your prompt and notes into a structured outline with an introduction, body sections, and a conclusion.

Review, adjust, and write

Check the outline, tweak the order of points, add or remove sections, and then start writing your draft using the outline as your scaffold.

Why it helps

  • Removes the hardest part: figuring out where to start

  • Keeps your essay aligned with the prompt and grading criteria

  • Helps you avoid “paragraph soup” and random, unorganized sections

  • Makes it easier to see if you have enough evidence for each point before you start writing

Why use an essay outline generator instead of planning in your head?

  • Stop freezing at the blank page. Get a starting structure you can edit instead of trying to invent everything from scratch.

  • Catch weak arguments early. Seeing your essay mapped out makes it obvious where you need more evidence or a better example.

  • Stay on-topic. Outlines built from your prompt and notes keep you focused on what the assignment is actually asking.

  • Write faster. When each paragraph already has a job, drafting turns into filling in sections instead of wandering.

Best for these essays and assignments

  • Argument or persuasive essays that need clear claims and reasons

  • Analytical essays for English, history, and humanities classes

  • Compare-and-contrast essays with multiple texts or topics

  • Timed in-class essays where you want a quick outline beforehand

  • College application and scholarship essays where structure matters as much as the story
