Expand The Papers AI Assistant is designed to enhance research efficiency by providing real-time, in-depth analysis, summarization, and contextual understanding of scholarly articles, accelerating how users interact with complex academic content. How does it work? Expand The AI Assistant uses generative AI to analyze your question and attempts to identify an answer within the context of the selected PDF(s). It leverages the general knowledge stored within large language models with the specific context of the PDF(s) you have opened to interpret and answer your questions. What can I do with it? Expand Our goal is to accelerate the pace of research without compromising the integrity of scholarly consumption and review. There are a number of ways the AI Assistant can do this, including: Content Summarization: helping extract key insights from papers. Deep-dive Queries: ask specific questions about an article’s contents Terminology Explanation: help explain complex academic jargon or specific terminology used in the article Contextualized Information: provide additional background context on a topic, to help grasp the implications of the research Identify Research Gaps: analyze the paper or selected papers to identify possible areas for future research Comprehension Bridges: every research team has varying degrees of proficiency for academic language or the actual language of a given paper; this can make papers more understandable, and digestible, to a wider audience Multilingual capability: users can analyze the paper in different languages And that’s just the beginning. It is our hope that we will continue to learn new ways in which generative AI can be a tool for research. How accurate is the AI Assistant? Can I trust its answers? Expand We have designed our AI Assistant to focus on answering specific questions contained within the selected research paper(s), rather than relying on broad knowledge trained within large language models. This can help mitigate the probability of hallucinations, but there is always the possibility the AI may misinterpret a question or fail to extract the correct context. Accuracy may also vary depending on the topic. We encourage you to refer back to the full text to verify answers, and in many cases our AI Assistant will point you to the specific paragraphs from which an answer was obtained. Can I use the AI Assistant to analyze a paper that I don’t have in my library? Expand No, the AI Assistant utilizes the full text of PDFs stored in your own Papers library. If you do not have a copy of the PDF, then the AI Assistant would not have access to text for analysis. Does the tool support articles in languages other than English? Expand Yes, the AI Assistant is capable of working with texts in other languages as well as answering questions in other languages. Can I use the AI Assistant to help write or format my own scholarly articles? Expand The AI Assistant was not designed to write articles, but rather to help answer questions within existing articles. Are there any limits to using the AI Assistant? Expand Yes, the Chat with a PDF functionality has usage limits. Papers Essentials users have a daily limit on the number of requests they can make, while Papers Pro users have a higher limit and the additional ability to ask questions across multiple articles in their library. The maximum number of articles that can be queried at a single time is 20. What does “Regenerate Answer” do? Expand Regenerate Answer attempts a different approach to answer your question. For example, it may modify the context to focus on your most recent question. We encourage you to use the feedback buttons to indicate if a regenerated answer is better or worse. Can I use the AI Assistant across all my devices? Expand Currently, the AI Assistant is only available in the web version of Papers. We are still in the early stages of exploring how this might expand in future releases.
