Hello!

Chat with Papers is one of the newest capabilities added to Elicit. Last week, we made performance improvements to make it work better for you, including:

1. Reducing the cases where Chat doesn't use selected papers in a response
2. Reducing cases where Chat uses information unrelated to your selected papers in the response
3. Making Chat provide more quotes from the paper when asked, so that you can check the answers

If you haven't tried Chat with Papers yet, here's a quick tutorial on how you can use it to ask more open-ended questions about the papers you find in Elicit.

You can use Chat to understand things like:

• How papers relate to each other
• How authors define certain terms
• General context about what's being discussed in the papers
• What a single paper did in detail

Elicit Plus users can chat with 8 papers at a time and use the full text of the papers, while Elicit Free users can chat with 4 at a time and use just the abstracts. Chat is a very general and open-ended capability. It's hard to balance making it stick to the papers you selected in some cases, and making it flexible to general questions you have in other cases. I hope these improvements help!
