Using AI with Research

The Research app integrates AI across its features to make it easy to efficiently understand new knowledge.

Using AI features require credits or an active subscription for the account connected to your app.

Connect your account to the app

You can add PDF files and web links to your library. All items are stored locally on your computer for easy offline access.

To add a new item:

1. Click the "Add item" button at the top of your library window.
2. In the modal that appears, either enter a web link, or select a PDF file from your computer.
3. If you're in a specific category, the item will be added there. Otherwise, it will go to "Uncategorized."

The app will automatically parse and process your new items, adding them to your library. You'll see a progress message in the bottom-right corner of the window.

Connect your account with an API key

Using the approach above may not work on some computers or browsers. In this case you can manually generate an API key and add it to the app.

Enabling AI features

Credits are required to use the AI. Research app offers you the ability to pay-as-you-go by purchasing credit packs, or a subscription that provides you with a monthly AI quota.

You can purchase credits or subscriptions from the dashboard.
