Built for the work between
collecting papers and writing.

  • Keep document processing local. Local storage and Ollama-based embeddings and chat, with a model connection restricted to this computer.
  • Read with a path back to the page. Clickable source references and supporting passage previews help you review an answer.
  • Focus the question. Summaries and comparisons use the documents you select, with adjustable response lengths.
  • Take your notes with you. Export research notes to Markdown or Word, and bibliographies to BibTeX, RIS, or Markdown.
