The night was silent except for the trembling voice of a young researcher whispering, “Oh my God… Oh my God.”
For months, Kamil Bello Furqan had lived in the rhythm of research—sleepless nights, endless readings, and countless edits. His research document was finally ready.
In one moment, years of effort dissolved into nothingness. A masterpiece turned into a blank page of heartbreak. But that night did not end in defeat. It sparked a revolution.
The Emergence of Tweakrr
Instead of walking away, Furqan turned his frustration into invention. Together with Lawal Habeeb, he began building something the world had never seen before—an AI that does not just assist research but thinks like a researcher.
That idea became Tweakrr, the world’s first and only AI system that reads through academic papers line by line, understands the context like a human, identifies what is original, and automatically finds and formats real, verifiable in-text citations and references in seconds.
Using it is as simple as it is powerful.
Upload your document, choose your preferred citation style and publication year range, and Tweakrr handles the rest with stunning precision. In moments, your entire paper comes alive with correctly placed citations and a perfectly formatted reference list, ready for submission or publication.
What once took weeks of exhaustion and anxiety now happens effortlessly through Tweakrr’s deep contextual intelligence.
For the first time, students, researchers, and professors can focus purely on ideas while Tweakrr handles the academic precision.
“We did not want to automate referencing,” says Furqan. “We wanted to give academic writing a brain.”
Tweakrr does not guess. It reads, interprets, validates, and formats. It is an academic mind that never sleeps and never forgets.
But Tweakrr is more than technology. It is a movement born from pain, purpose, and persistence.
From Nigeria to the world, the platform is already making waves. Users now span Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States, and discussions are underway with several universities across Iceland to integrate Tweakrr into their research workflows.
Back home, Nigerian universities are also joining the revolution, with partnership models designed to empower institutions through revenue sharing—a system that pays universities for every student using Tweakrr.
With profit margins above 90 percent and a growing global user base, Tweakrr is fast becoming one of Africa’s most promising EdTech exports—a living example of innovation driven by empathy and vision.
“We are not just building software,” adds Habeeb. “We are redefining how research is trusted, verified, and validated.”
At a recent academic conference, the Tweakrr team demonstrated the system. The audience watched in awe as the AI analyzed a paragraph, distinguished the author’s original thought, and generated precise citations and references from real academic sources—all within seconds.
For many, it was not just impressive; it was transformative—a glimpse into the future of academia.
For Furqan and Habeeb, this is only the beginning. Their goal is simple yet profound: to see Tweakrr adopted by every university in the world, starting with Africa and Europe, ensuring that no researcher ever loses their work to broken citations again.
Tweakrr is not just solving an academic problem. It is healing an emotional wound—the silent agony of students and scholars who have watched their hard work collapse under the weight of citation chaos.
And from that pain, two Nigerians have built something powerful—a system that does not just reference information but rewrites the story of academic writing itself.
