Effects of two treatments on plant growth

1 Introduction

Dobson (1983) reports an experiment that compared plant yields, measured as dried weight, under a control and two treatment conditions[1].

2 Results

Dried weight differed between conditions, F(2, 27) = 4.85, p = .016.

3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 Dried weight (g) ControlTreatment 1Treatment 2 p = .013 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 Dried weight (g) ControlTreatment 1Treatment 2 p = .013
Figure 1. Dried plant weight by condition. Boxes show the median and quartiles, whiskers the range; each point is one plant (n = 10 per group). One-way ANOVA: F(2, 27) = 4.85, p = .016. The bracket marks the Holm-adjusted pairwise comparison.

Sample data: PlantGrowth (Dobson, 1983). Drawn and computed on this page as an illustration. It is not output from Textmolt; in Word, the analysis workflow builds figures from your own CSV.

Plants under treatment 2 were heavier than those under treatment 1 (Holm-adjusted p = .013)[1].

What it does

From the first draft to the last citation.

See writing and reading in Microsoft Word. Every example below is recorded from the real add-in.

01 · Rewrite in place

Fix the sentence where it stands.

Select text in your document and choose Polish, Translate to English, Expand, Summarize or Explain. The answer streams into the sidebar, and Write to document puts it back in place of your selection.

  • Five quick actions on any selection, plus slash commands
  • Write to document replaces the selection, or inserts at the cursor — Ctrl+Z undoes it
  • Draft a paragraph in another language and translate it into English where it stands

02 · Cite as you write

Your Zotero library, one panel away.

Search your Zotero library from the sidebar and insert a citation at the cursor, in the style your department asks for.

  • APA, MLA, Chicago (notes), IEEE and GB/T 7714-2015
  • Search by title, author or year across your collections
  • Inserted as live Zotero citations that Zotero keeps up to date

03 · Read papers inside Word

Open the PDF next to your draft.

Open a paper from your Zotero library in Textmolt's reader, right inside Word. Select a sentence and ask AI about it: the excerpt goes into the sidebar with its page number, and the answer appears beside your draft.

  • Excerpts arrive tagged with their page, like “Excerpt · p.2”
  • Translate a selection, highlight it or add a note
  • Original layout, or a reflowed view that is easier to read

04 · Ask a whole paper Pro

Question the paper, not just its abstract.

Ask AI about a Zotero item and choose Full text: Textmolt extracts the PDF's readable text on your computer and attaches it to your message — within page, character and model-context limits — so you can ask what the authors actually wrote, such as the limitations they acknowledge, and the answer can quote the paper directly.

  • Choose the abstract or the full text for each paper
  • See the page count, length and token estimate before you send
  • Up to 500,000 characters of attached text on Pro

05 · Research across your library Pro

Answers that cite your own sources.

Idle waits shortened; a real run takes about 30 seconds.

Ask a question with /zotero across a Zotero collection or your whole library. Textmolt searches and reads, showing each step as it happens, then answers with citations to the papers it used — and writes the paragraph into your document with live Zotero citations.

  • Scope it to your whole library, one collection, or hand-picked papers
  • Citations that can't be verified are flagged and can't be inserted
  • Insert as live Zotero citations or as plain text

06 · Ask about your whole draft

Feedback on the chapter, not just the sentence.

Add your Word document as a source and ask about all of it — the argument of a section, gaps in a literature review, a claim that still needs support. Attach PDFs or DOCX files to compare against.

  • The document is read when you send. In standard hosted chat its text is also stored on our servers for indexing and later retrieval — see the Privacy Policy
  • Attach up to four files; their text is extracted on your computer

Data analysis & statistical figures

From CSV data to figures in your paper.

Open Analysis in Word, choose a CSV and describe your research question. Textmolt runs analysis code on your computer and helps you bring figures, captions, tables and methods into the document.

  1. Choose the data

    Use a UTF-8 CSV, including one exported from Excel. Check the data summary and decide what the AI receives.

  2. Review the analysis

    Use supported built-in statistics and inspect the method, assumptions and results. Adjust the figures before inserting them.

  3. Bring it into Word

    Insert figures and captions, results tables, and methods or results text. Export available outputs and Python code for further checking.

For Microsoft Word on Windows. Zotero and Viamolt are not required for this workflow. AI requests still need an internet connection.

How the Zotero link works

Your library stays where it is.

Textmolt reaches Zotero through Viamolt, a small companion app on your PC that reads your library through Zotero's local API and links it to your Textmolt account. Textmolt never copies your whole library — it fetches only what you open, search for or ask about.

  1. Stays on your PC

    Your Zotero database and PDF files. Papers open in Textmolt's reader straight from your computer.

  2. Fetched when you browse or cite

    The collections, items and citation text you ask for, passed from Viamolt through the Textmolt gateway to your sidebar.

  3. Sent to the AI model when you ask

    Your question and whatever context you chose for it — a selection, the document, a paper's full text or excerpts, bibliographic data and abstracts — plus relevant conversation history and memory, sent through the Textmolt gateway to the AI model. Before your first research run, Textmolt lists what research sends and waits for you to continue.

You can unpair Viamolt from your account at any time.

Set up once

  1. Run Zotero (versions 7–10) and allow other applications on this computer to communicate with it (one setting).
  2. Install Viamolt and pair it with the 8-character code shown in the sidebar.
  3. Open the library panel in Word — your collections are there.

Use AI with your Zotero library, inside Word

Model choice

Your choice of AI, inside Word.

Use the same reading, analysis and writing workflows with either of two model sources. Choose from the models and provider connections available to your account.

Bring your own key

Connect an API key from your AI provider. Free supports DeepSeek; Pro opens more provider connections. The provider charges for its model usage.

Textmolt-provided models

Choose an available model in Textmolt and pay for AI usage with Textmolt credits. You can buy credits on Free or Pro without setting up your own API key.

Your plan controls workflow features and limits. Model usage is separate, and on Pro, research runs beyond the daily included number are paid in Textmolt credits. With either source, AI requests pass through the Textmolt gateway to the selected provider.

6-hour offer and renewal details

After your trial ends, you have 6 hours to create a discounted order, starting with your first interaction on the trial-ended screen in the add-in. An order created before the deadline keeps its first-period price if you pay later. You cannot switch the discounted billing option after the deadline; payment-page availability is determined by the payment provider.

The monthly and annual offers share one use per account and apply to the first billing period only. Your subscription then renews automatically at the standard rate, currently $10/month or $90/year. We will notify you in advance of price changes, and you can cancel before renewal.

Questions

Before you ask.

What is Textmolt?

An AI research workspace inside Microsoft Word on Windows. Textmolt combines paper reading, CSV data analysis, statistical figures and tables, and writing with citations from your research library. The library connection currently supports Zotero. Models can come from your own provider key or Textmolt.

Can I analyze data and make statistical figures in Word?

Yes. Open Analysis, choose a UTF-8 CSV and describe your question. Textmolt runs analysis code locally and can insert figures, captions, tables and research text into Word. Check the method and results; support depends on the analysis and data. Zotero is not required.

What do I need to run it?

Microsoft Word on Windows: Microsoft 365, Office 2021 or later, or Office 2019 Retail. The Zotero features also need Zotero 7–10 on the same PC and the Viamolt companion app. Word for Mac and WPS Office aren't supported yet.

How do I get started?

Download the add-in from this site and install it, then sign in in the Word sidebar with your email and a 6-digit code — no invite code needed. New accounts can claim a free Pro trial.

Do I need my own AI key?

No. You can add your own API key — DeepSeek on Free, more providers on Pro — or buy Textmolt credits to use Textmolt-provided models without one.

What happens to my text?

When you send a request, your question and the context you chose — a selection, the document, attached text or library material — go through our gateway to the AI provider. Conversations, summaries and memory are stored on our servers, and adding a full document stores its text for indexing. Textmolt doesn't use your documents to train models. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Will it invent citations?

Research answers cite items from your library. A citation that can't be matched to a real item is marked unverified and can't be inserted into your document. AI output is still for reference — check claims against the source.

Which citation styles are supported?

APA, MLA, Chicago (notes), IEEE, and GB/T 7714-2015 in numeric and author–date forms. The GB/T styles need a recent version of Viamolt.

How much does it cost?

Free costs nothing, for good. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription, with a one-time offer on your first period after the trial; credits are sold separately. Prices are in the pricing section above.

Can I get a refund?

If you haven't used any paid feature, you can request a full refund within 24 hours of purchase. Using a paid feature — through Textmolt's servers, locally, or with your own API key — ends that 24-hour refund for unused service. Statutory rights always remain, including the 14-day withdrawal right for consumers in the EEA and the UK, charged proportionately for what was used. The Refund Policy has the exact terms.
