Introducing Search!

We've heard your requests to implement a search feature, and we're excited to announce that it's finally here!

Before I get into the feature set, I want to talk about why it took so long and why we didn't introduce something simpler. One of our key tenants is that we must take full advantage of AI, and search is one of those features that we wanted to make sure was done right.

Search also needs to be fast. I've personally used websites that had annoyingly slow search, and 9/10 times the search would not even result in the correct page.

So, what about Scholarly search? Well, to release this feature, we had to take incremental steps towards speed, accuracy, and usefulness. First was speed, one way to improve search speeds is simply by caching all the pages, and other content like PDFs, and Flashcards directly on your browser. This has allowed us to have 1ms delay between you typing and the results showing up.

However, speed isn't always good, especially when considering usefulness. Sometimes we don't know the title of the page we're trying to find, or the content inside it but we do now what the content is about. And this is where AI comes in. Scholarly automatically analyzes all the content you upload to it, and gives Scholarly Assistant knowledge about the content. This allows us to simply have you search for "Physics" and get all the content that might relate to physics, or relate to science, or school, etc.

Search is out now! Simply press CMD + K or if you're on Windows CTRL + K to open the search modal.

You can also directly access search on the sidebar, and through the home page.

Updates

• Sidebar preferences will be remembered across sessions now. We're also working to make this sync between devices.
• We now use GPT4 for generating study mode questions, this is a major step towards ensuring AI is truly helpful for students.
• Pages now load much faster than before, it was honestly quite embarrassing that some people had to wait up to 10 seconds for the page to load.
• Added a slight 0.3 second transition to allow Scholarly to load some more data from your browser storage.
• We now cache the components of the last 5 pages you visited rather than 10.
• You can now toggle whether you want to see your pinned content, or pages in the sidebar, this will be remembered across sessions on the browser.
• Fixed a few layout problems with the sidebar when hovering over pages.
• Create page button has been moved to be next to the pages container on the sidebar.

Updates

This feature is designed to work seamlessly.

• Resolved a bug where newly created flashcards would always be minimized.

Link Pages to Scholarly Assistant

You can now link pages to Scholarly Assistant, so you can easily reference them in your conversations. It's actually extremely easy, just press '@' and start typing the page's name.

Just like PDFs, linking pages works for every conversation, so even if you're studying a flashcard deck, you can just link a page and Scholarly Assistant will understand.

You can also link a page by clicking the upload icon next to the input, and selecting the page you want to link. (We know about Page thumbnails not generating, we're working on a fix.)

Updates

• Updated the landing page.
• Fixed a bug where page large selection wasn't working.

Updates

• Improvements to templates; there won'y be an empty text above the templates anymore.
• Added a new Scholarly Help for sharing pages, as it might be confusing why there are trending pages.
• Text Completion is now FULLY context aware! Previously, it would only look at the nearby text, now it looks at the entire page. This is only possible due to the great work we've put in to make our entire AI pipeline faster & more efficient. However, text completion will be around 300-400ms slower as we have to query a lot more data.
• We will now automatically set your AI model to GPT4 if you have a premium plan. Previously, you'd have to pick, which was just absolutely terrible.
• Fixed trending pages not updating, it's supposed to update every day but it wasn't.

• Trending pages now has a lienar decacy for older pages, so although we favor new pages, it won't be as drastic as before.
• Updated onboarding so all the buttons fit on the screen for smaller screens & removed optional join discord. We're going to slowly phase out the discord as it's not very active.

Updates

• Generally improved text completion for styled text; we don't consider the styling, which has greatly improved Scholarly Assistant's understanding of the text.

Updates

• Resolved a bug where text completion would sometimes result in an empty string, we now generate 2, and choose the best one.
• Resolve a problem with AI Autocomplete especially when you work with styled text.
• Text completion now tries to show the text with the least amount of new lines, as new lines aren't perfected just yet.
• Text completion now respects the amount of indents in your current line, so it will try to match the current line.
• Text completion now only looks at the cloests text / other component near your cursor, so it will be much faster. Eventually, our goal is to integrate our retrival system so your entire page is considered, not the nearby components.
• We've removed the markdown capability for text completion, as it was causing more problems than it was solving.

• Auto complete is now much faster, we're still hoping to have it at under 300ms in the future.
• Resolved a problem where flashcard generation would create less cards than normal, it was due to an experimental feature that we've now disabled.
• Fixed a bug where messages were duplicating if you opened Scholarly Chat multiple times, opps!

Updates

• Text completion now follows your style, so it will match the text you've written.
• Archived pages now sort based on last opened.

Redesigned Share/Public Pages

Shared pages are finally getting the attention they deserve. We've redesigned the shared page to be much more appealing and easier to use.

The new redesign is more intuine with our regular page design, so it feels much more like Scholarly than a separate feature.

Here's what's new:

• Introducing brand new Scholarly Insights. This new feature automatically creates tags and ai descriptions for a page, so you can easily understand what the page is about.

We will simplify flashcards inside pages in a similar way soon.

The landing page & other public pages are now much simpler as we've removed a lot of the clutter. Feature pages have also been removed, as they were not very useful.

Updates

• Performance improvements to Scholarly Assistant, so you will see your messages appear much faster in the chat, as previously we would wait for a new conversation to be generated before showing your message.

You can easily have it remember information about you simply by asking it to "remember" something. It will then remember that information for the rest of the conversation, as well as all future conversations.

Memory allows you to tailor Scholarly Assistant to your needs, so you can get the most out of your conversations.

• Improved the loading state for Study mode options that involve Scholarly Assistant.

Enhanced PDF Upload Feature

We are excited to announce that you can now upload PDF files directly into conversations! This new feature supports both existing and newly created PDFs, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your documents into our platform.

Once uploaded, your PDFs will be stored in your account, ensuring easy and continuous access from the Home section. This means you can always revisit your documents whenever needed.

Engage with your PDFs during conversations or while navigating other pages. This interactive feature enables you to ask questions and seek clarifications directly related to the content of your PDFs.

We are continuously improving our AI pipeline to enhance PDF compatibility. If you encounter issues with older PDFs, we recommend re-uploading them to ensure optimal performance and access.

Embrace the convenience of integrating PDFs into your discussions and enjoy a more streamlined and interactive experience.

You can quickly search for archived pages, and unarchive them with a single click.

Performance Updates

• Editing a component will now save 100% faster than before, it would previously take up to 3 seconds, now it takes under 1.5 second. This is more obvious when creating multiple lines of text, as previously it would scale linearly with the amount of components, now it's constant.
