Research Board & Smart Context

A dedicated research workspace and AI that actually knows your documents.

Research Board

The Research board is a dedicated space for collecting and organizing everything that feeds into your writing.

  • Note types — capture ideas as Facts, Quotes, Notes, or Stats, each color-coded for at-a-glance clarity
  • Pin notes — keep your most important references pinned to the top
  • Import files — drag in PDFs, Word docs, CSVs, Markdown, and plain text files directly into your research library
  • Save links — bookmark any URL as a research reference with one click
  • Filter & search — filter by note type, tag, or a keyword search across all your notes
  • AI research search — ask a question and let AI surface answers from your research notes
  • Model selection — pick your preferred AI model, shared across Research and Chat

Smart Context (Workspace Chat)

AI chat now knows what's in your workspace — not just the document you have open.

  • Ask questions and get answers drawn from everything you've written, across all your documents
  • Reference characters, themes, or ideas from anywhere in your project without copy-pasting
  • The more you write, the more useful the AI becomes

Improvements

  • Research and Chat share the same model preference — switch once, applies everywhere
