Introduction
ABE is designed to support critical thinking and process-based writing through multi-stage, coach-guided activities. Students work on a live-editable version of their paper (e.g., Google Docs). The system works comparably with different general-purpose LLMs (e.g., GPT 4o-min, Gemini Pro 1.5 and 2), with GPT 4o-min as a default. ABE emphasizes deeper writing processes, rather than surface-level editing or suggesting direct fixes.
