## Key Features

* **Grounded answers with citations.** Ask questions in chat and get concise, scholarly responses that cite the exact page/section from your sources, so you can verify every claim.
* **Understand any file—or a whole collection—instantly.** Import papers, reports, lecture slides, or videos and query them individually or across multiple documents to connect ideas and surface patterns.
* **Reference Library you can trust.** Upload PDFs, manage metadata, de-duplicate, and run bulk actions. View details at a glance and open the built-in PDF viewer when you need depth.
* **Write faster with Nova and the block editor.** Draft in a Notion-style editor with Markdown support, then use Nova (AI Research Assistant) to summarize, expand, or refactor sections while keeping citations intact.
* **AI Rewriter for tone and clarity.** Instantly rewrite selected text to be more concise, formal, academic, or plain-language—without losing meaning.
* **Smart @references.** Mention sources as you write to insert inline citations and auto-build your bibliography when you're done.
* **Projects, folders, and a familiar file explorer.** Keep everything organized by research area, switch contexts quickly, and stay focused.
* **Search and add papers from external indexes.** Bring new literature straight into your workspace with integrations like Semantic Scholar, then ask Nova to connect it to what you already have.
* **Keyboard-first productivity.** Use the Command Palette and shortcuts for quick actions, navigation, and AI commands without leaving the keyboard.
* **Built for teams or solo work.** Create a single, searchable library for your projects today, and collaborate seamlessly as your work grows.
