Your files remain part of the research

Keep uploaded material and documents created in scid.ai in one Library. Add them to a new or existing research session so document content and spreadsheet rows become part of the answer context.

A file system inside the research workspace

PDFs, tables, text files, and exported documents do not have to disappear into computer folders. They remain close to the research and become sources again when needed.

Collect your own material

Upload documents and tables that did not come from scientific search.

Remember where a file came from

The Library shows the file type and its related chat when the material was created during research.

Start research from files

Select the documents you need and add them to the current context or open a new chat.
