Feature Guides
Learn how to use each of Ai4Scholar’s core features
Ai4Scholar offers AI-powered research tools for the complete workflow, from following literature, searching, and reading to research writing and presentation. These guides follow the order in which tools are used in the research toolbox.
If you are new to research mode, start with Research Workspace to learn about conversations, projects, personal space, and model settings. Research mode is enabled per account; legacy tool pages remain available independently.
