The Hearst Update allows you to upload up to eight PDF files into a scienceOS Assistant chat session. This will help you with research tasks such as comparing the results data and synthesizing information from multiple research papers. You can also create tables and diagrams based on multiple PDFs.
Further, after uploading a research paper, scienceOS will automatically create a brief summary of the PDF in text and slide format.
Upload multiple PDFs
Upload and chat with up to eight PDF files in the Assistant. Each PDF will automatically generate a summary after the upload.
(Chatting with PDFs requires access to our best model.)
Compare results data
Upload multiple research papers to compare and interpret the results data in less than 1min.

Why Hearst Update?
This update of scienceOS is dedicated to Marti Hearst, who is known for her work in information retrieval and text mining. Hearst’s research advanced our ability to compare and synthesize data from multiple sources.
New source details.
We are moving towards a more intuitive scienceOS. Our goal is to make it easier to understand what you can do with scienceOS. When we started, there was only the Search. Then, we added the Assistant, the library, and today a multi-PDF chat.
Over the last months, we learned that the difference between the Search and the Assistant is not easy to understand. This is against our core value “Simplicity”. Therefore, we are harmonizing the source details for the Search and the Assistant: paper networks and citation quotes are now available in both tools.
The major difference between both tools is now that you can ask follow-up questions and upload up to eight PDFs in the Assistant, but the Search is for free.
Improvements and bug fixes.
We added new features to the scienceOS library, improved the power and speed of the search algorithm, and fixed a Windows 7/8 bug for Chrome users.
Improvements
- The AI agent can now write a summary of the abstracts in your library
- Increased the speed and power of the search algorithm
- Added notes to better communicate what is stored in My library
Bug fixes
- Fixed a critical bug for users with Windows 7/8 and old Chrome versions
