Summary

💚 (great). 💛 (could use improvement). 💔 (needs fixing).

💚 Very good for finding information across different papers and quickly glancing through dozens of papers.

💚 Customized columns are great.

💚 Notebook interface is great too, especially the feature for creating new tables from selected papers.

💚 Cost transparency is awesome.

💛 Previous experience with spreadsheets led me to believe that I could edit cells and have more fine-grained control.

💛 Often ran into “Not mentioned (the abstract …)”. But I would rather have this than have a hallucinated result.

💔 Buggy. Contributed the most friction-wise and emotion-wise. I just felt on edge from the outset.

Setup

• I am a software engineer who wants to get an overview of the search indexing space.
• I have a few papers that I would like to quickly glance through.

Onboarding

• Can’t click the card
• The “continue with xxx” is in the middle of the card, so it wasn’t immediately clear to me how to choose a plan
• Even when I click Basic, the ring around the Plus card doesn’t move over to the Basic card.
• I was scared of having chosen the Plus plan when I really wanted the Basic plan 😨.

• Tried to go back to a previous stage, just because I realized I made the choice too hastily.

• Looked like a generic text box - I wasn’t sure if the “Extract data” or “List of concepts” features were choosable
• Then I noticed “Select a first step”, which made me confused. First?
• Mini-prompts confused me; are they part of the step or just general? Only when I switched around the steps did I realize that they were tied to the step being performed.

• The text data isn’t preserved when you switch to a different step.
• That made me annoyed 😠.
• The coin icons are really nice!

• Extract data doesn’t have the coin icon. How much does it cost?

• The sidebar button seems like it doesn’t do anything.
• I thought that it would close the sidebar immediately.
• Once I navigated off of the button, the sidebar closed.
