New Dashboard & Navigation (Agents + Notebooks)

We’ve redesigned the Paperguide dashboard to center your research around AI agents and structured outputs. The new layout makes it easier to start research, manage conversations, and access generated content in one place.

What's new

A new agent-first dashboard: The dashboard now starts with Agent Search, Chat with PDF 2.0, the Literature Review agent, and Deep Research reports, so you can jump into any workflow instantly.

My Chats (new sidebar menu). All your agent conversations are now organized in one place—Search, Literature Review, Chat with PDF, and Deep Research—so you can reopen and continue work anytime.

My Notebooks (new sidebar menu). Everything you create is now easier to find: tables, documents, and any notebooks generated by agents that you save are stored here for quick access.

Extract Data in the sidebar. You can now start and access data extraction directly from the side menu, without hunting through pages.

Old dashboard still available. For accessibility, we moved the previous dashboard to the bottom of the sidebar as Dashboard (old), and your previous activity is available under History (old) inside that section.

Introducing Literature Review Agent

We’ve added a new Literature Review Agent to help you turn a research question into a traceable, structured review—without juggling dozens of tabs.

How it works

• Start from our full database (~200M papers) or use your reference manager as the input set.

• The agent creates a step-by-step plan, then helps you find relevant papers, screen them, and extract key details before drafting the review.

What you get

• A structured literature review with citations so you can verify claims quickly

• The candidate/selected papers list

• Screening outcomes (what was included/excluded and why)

• Extracted data (so you can reuse it for tables, analysis, or writing)

Use it for quick overviews or deeper dives—especially when you want the workflow and evidence in one place.

Chat with PDF 2.0

We have upgraded Chat with PDF to handle long, dense papers more reliably by using full-text context instead of relying only on small chunks.

You can now run deeper research workflows on a single PDF, including:

• Structured summaries of long sections or the full paper

• Extracting key claims with evidence from the text

• Comparing arguments or results across sections or related papers

Follow-up questions also behave more predictably, especially for queries like "where does it say that?" or "expand on this section" — the assistant will quote and expand based on the exact passages it found.

AI Search 2.0

We have launched AI Search 2.0, a new search experience powered by an agent-driven workflow that helps you go from question → evidence → answer.

Instead of a long list of results, AI Search 2.0 returns:

• Top 20 research papers most relevant to your query

• A synthesized answer built from those papers

• A reference list so you can quickly inspect the underlying evidence

It supports flexible queries as a topic, research question, paper title, or plain-language description. After you get your initial results, you can ask follow-up questions in chat to refine or go deeper without starting over.

Generate Document with Custom Outlines

You can now provide your own outline in the instructions field, and the AI will follow your structure while generating content.

In “Generate Full Document,” add your outline to the instructions field along with other requirements.

Deep Research with Your References

If you already have papers saved on a topic, you can now generate Deep Research Reports using only those papers.

In the Deep Research Report, select "Reference Manager" as the knowledge source and choose your folder. The agent will screen and synthesize findings from your saved papers instead of the public database.

Useful when you've already collected papers and want a comprehensive analysis without searching again

Deep Research with 50 Papers

Remember how Deep Research Report used to screen 50 papers and build your report from the top 10? That worked well for quick overviews, but many of you told us you needed to dig deeper for comprehensive reviews and grant proposals. So we've expanded the options:

• Standard Report Screen up to 80 relevant papers → Generate report from top 30 papers 
  Great for thorough literature reviews and academic writing

• Comprehensive Report Screen up to 100 relevant papers → Generate report from top 50 papers 
  Ideal for systematic reviews, meta-analyses

Improved Search

We've upgraded the semantic search engine that powers AI Search and Literature Review. This means better understanding of your research questions and more relevant results.

What's improved

• Understands your questions better: AI grasps the context behind your research questions, not just keywords.

• More relevant paper matching Search results now include papers that are conceptually related to your query, not just keyword matches.

• Recognizes field-specific language The system knows when different terms mean the same thing in your research area.

For example, searching "machine learning in healthcare" now also finds papers about "artificial intelligence in medicine" or "automated diagnosis systems."

Enhanced Plagiarism Checker

We’ve enabled and upgraded our plagiarism checker with improved accuracy and better detection to help ensure your content stays original.

Paperguide ArticleGPT

Introducing Paperguide ArticleGPT—generate structured, research-backed articles in minutes. Ideal for students, researchers, and blog writers who need high-quality content with citations from over 200 million papers.

Quickly copy all citations used in your AI Writer document with a single click—perfect for seamless referencing.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

We’ve resolved reported issues and squashed bugs for a smoother, more reliable experience across the platform.

Deep Research Report

Deep Research is our new research assistant that automatically conducts comprehensive literature reviews for you. Here's what it does:

• Create a structured research plan

• Search through millions of papers for relevant information

• Screen papers based on quality and relevance

• Extract key data points and identify patterns

• Deliver a fully cited research report

This can help you complete in minutes what might normally take weeks of manual work.
