Inside Citepool
One web app for the whole team
Word is where you cite. Citepool on the web is where your team keeps, finds, checks and shares everything behind those citations.
One library the whole team can reach
The problem: References scattered across personal folders, laptops and old email threads.
With Citepool: Every reference and PDF in one place, filtered by your own fields — the same library for everyone, from any browser.
Ask your library
The problem: Reading forty PDFs to answer one question.
With Citepool: Ask in plain English and get an answer drawn only from your team’s PDFs — every point numbered and linked to its page.
Team and roles in one place
The problem: Personal licences, shared logins, and no say over who can change what.
With Citepool: Invite people by email or link. Owners, admins and members — and seats follow your team automatically.
Fields that fit your work
The problem: Every source forced into the shape of a journal article.
With Citepool: Add Client, Jurisdiction or Evidence grade with pick-lists, so everyone tags sources the same way — and filters by them in Word.
Your AI assistant, connected
The problem: Stuck with whichever AI the vendor chose — and paying again for it.
With Citepool: Connect the Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot your team already uses. It searches and cites your library, as you.
A dated copy of every web source
The problem: The page you cited changed — or vanished — after the report went out.
With Citepool: Citepool keeps a PDF of each web page, law or report page, with the address and capture date on every page.
