How it works
Search papers
Ask your assistant a question such as "What are the latest RCTs on sleep and depression since 2020?" and it searches Paperguide for matching papers. Your assistant can return relevant results with key details so you can quickly decide what to open next. Each search costs 10 credits.
Get full details
When a paper looks relevant, your assistant can fetch the full paper details from Paperguide. That includes the abstract, authors, journal information, DOI, and citation details so you can review the paper without leaving the conversation. Each fetch costs 2 credits.
