Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is document upload and AI-powered Q&A — handled better than most — and useful for literature reviews and summarization tasks. Answer quality depends on the uploaded source material is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Automated summarization of academic texts is exactly what I needed, and useful for literature reviews and summarization tasks. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Organized workspaces for research projects just works and handles multiple file formats and large document sets. Free tier has usage and storage limits can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: organized workspaces for research projects and useful for literature reviews and summarization tasks. On balance the feature set — especially cross-document search and comparison — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
Q&A
Are there limits on the free tier, and what affects answer quality?
The free tier has usage and storage limits, so heavy users may need a paid plan. Answer quality depends on the uploaded sources—if relevant material isn't in your documents, responses may be incomplete or require manual checking.
