Research is not just written words. Figures, diagrams, and plots often hold insights that text alone cannot convey. Now, these visual elements are part of your PDFs in scienceOS. When a PDF has been processed with OCR+, the AI can “see” the figures, making them accessible for conversation and analysis.
You can now ask questions directly about figures, from a single chart to a complex table. Whether the PDF is yours or part of a shared projects, the AI interprets the visuals, helping you uncover patterns, extract meaning, and explore insights that were previously hidden within these elements.
Further, scienceOS can now explain itself and how it can support your research. Its reasoning is visible, giving you insight into how answers are generated, while its enhanced capabilities let it plan, guide, and collaborate with you more intuitively.
Review the full release notes: Shannon Update.
This update of scienceOS is dedicated to Claude Elwood Shannon, who laid the foundations of information theory and showed how meaningful signals can be extracted from complex, noisy representations.
