The Senge Update makes projects, collaborative workspaces within scienceOS, a more central aspect of scienceOS. All projects, your own and shared ones, are now shown on your app homepage to quickly continue with your ongoing research.
Further, the new version of scienceOS enables you to document and share AI answers with your colleagues. When you save an answer, it will now be added to the ‘project feed’ of the respective project. In a shared project, all project members will be able to see and read the saved answers. This helps you document valuable insights for yourself, prevent double work in teams, and may even serve as an inspiration for your colleagues.
All saved answers from your private and your shared projects will be shown in ‘my feed‘ on your in-app homepage. If you are part of multiple shared projects, this will help you grasp what has been going on since your last login.
Finally, to help you import your literature collection into your library and share papers with your colleagues, you can now import collections directly from your Zotero web library. (Tip: Import your reference manager to scienceOS to quickly check if any of the imported papers has been retracted. You will see a red marker in front of the title of a retracted paper.)
Create a shared project
Create a shared project from your app homepage to share sources and insights with your colleagues.
(Creating shared projects is for free.)
Document and share answers
‘Star’ an answer within a project to add it to the project feed and share it with all project members.
(Sharing saved answers is for free.)
Why Senge Update?
This update of scienceOS is dedicated to Peter M Senge, who popularized the concept of the learning organization, organizations that facilitate the learning of all members and continuously transform themselves through shared knowledge.
New and more powerful AI models.
Over the course of the last few months, we carefully evaluated the capabilities of new AI models. Today, we replace both our models (the ‘best model’ for our Angel plan users and the ‘small model’ for our free users) with new reasoning LLMs that “think” before answering.
The ‘best model’ is a powerful reasoning LLM that is capable of elegantly handling complex research tasks. The ‘small model’ is more powerful than the previous ‘small model’, but not as capable as the ‘best model’. Both of the new AI models provide more detailed answers than the previous models. To always use our ‘best model’, consider subscribing to the Angel plan.
