scid.aiYou choose the materials
Add search results, Favorites, source groups, or your own files to the research workspace.
Get answers you can verify against the papers
Source chat works inside your research workspace: it uses the papers and files you select, keeps the basis of each answer visible, and preserves a path to the original sources.
Feature
The answer stays attached to its evidence base
Instead of asking an empty assistant, you question a defined body of literature and can return to the primary source at any point.
The basis remains visible
Paper records and graphs help you verify an important claim, method, or limitation.
Follow-ups retain context
Compare approaches, find disagreements, and ask what evidence is still missing.
Not an answer from nowhere
A fluent sentence should not replace a source. In scid.ai, the response is bounded by material selected for the research.
Verification remains part of the work
Move from a claim to the paper, check its context, and only then use the finding in a review, report, or decision.
Choose a close scenario
After registration, you can write your own research question and continue the workflow in scid.ai.
Ask questions only of the materials you selected
Define the evidence base yourself and keep it available for every follow-up.
Select sources
Bring together papers from search, the graph, Favorites, Groups, or the Library.
Ask precisely
Compare methods, explain disagreement, extract limitations, or build a reading order.
Open the basis
Check significant statements in the paper records and source text, then continue the analysis.
Questions about source-grounded answers
Does source chat replace reading papers?
No. It speeds up navigation and comparison, but consequential findings should be checked in the primary sources.
Can I ask only selected papers?
Yes. Add the relevant papers and files to the workspace; the chat uses them as the scope of the conversation.
Test a difficult question in your research workspace
Select the papers, ask a focused follow-up, and keep the path from each important answer back to its source.
