Features
Context helps researchers move from scattered reading to structured understanding. Every feature is designed to reduce the gap between raw sources and usable, verifiable insights.
Source Library
Context gives every research project a structured source library. Import from multiple entry points, keep metadata clean, and never lose track of a source.
Add sources four ways: upload a PDF, paste a URL, enter a DOI, or create a manual record for books, reports, or interview transcripts.
Each source carries a structured metadata record: title, author, year, journal or publisher, URL, source type, abstract, and user notes.
Workspaces keep each project isolated. Within a workspace, filter, sort, and search across all your sources.
Free plan: up to 1 workspace and 20 sources. Pro and Team plans remove these limits.
Source Analysis
Run deep analysis on any source. Context extracts a structured scholarly breakdown — grounded in the source text, labeled by evidence type, and fully reviewable by you.
Two-level summaries: a concise 2–3 sentence overview and a detailed paragraph covering theoretical framework, methods, argument, and significance.
The central thesis and overarching argument extracted and articulated clearly — separate from the summary for fast reference.
Research design, data sources, sampling strategy, analytical techniques, and frameworks used by the authors — described plainly.
Main results, conclusions, and the authors' own interpretation of their evidence — extracted and clearly stated.
Acknowledged limitations, scope constraints, and methodological weaknesses from the source — flagged for responsible citation.
Individual claims made in the source, each labeled by evidence type (empirical, theoretical, anecdotal, statistical, expert opinion) and confidence level (strong, moderate, weak, contested).
Passages extracted from the source text, with a page reference where one could be extracted and your own annotations. Check each one against the original before you quote it.
Recurring themes and concepts identified across your sources are surfaced and linked — so you can see how ideas connect across your reading list.
Every source's evidence is classified: empirical, theoretical, mixed, anecdotal, meta-analysis, case study, review, or statistical. Makes the quality of your evidence base visible.
How it works: Upload a PDF, and Context extracts its text, then runs structured analysis to populate each field. For a URL, DOI or manual record, analysis uses the abstract and metadata. All fields are editable — you stay in control of what gets used in outputs.
Cross-Source Comparison
Select any 2–8 sources and run a structured comparison. Context identifies agreements, disagreements, methodological differences, and conceptual gaps across the full set.
A high-level synthesis paragraph that captures what the selected sources collectively say — and where the intellectual landscape stands.
Where do the sources converge? Where do they contradict? Context surfaces points of agreement and disagreement explicitly — not buried in summaries.
A side-by-side breakdown of how the selected sources approached their research. Useful for understanding why findings might differ.
Shared concepts and terms across sources are identified. Blind spots and underexplored ideas are surfaced — helping you direct further reading.
Exportable comparison reports
Every comparison can be exported as a structured text report, Markdown file, Word document, or PDF — ready to use in a research brief, annotated bibliography, or chapter draft.
Writing Studio
Select your sources, choose an output type, set tone and depth, then generate. Citations link only to your sources, and an (Author, Year) citation that matches none of them is marked "Needs verification".
Literature Review
A structured narrative synthesis of your sources, cited with (Author, Year) throughout.
Annotated Bibliography
Individual source summaries with evidence type labels and key claim highlights.
Thematic Synthesis
Cross-source synthesis organized around the main themes across your reading.
Comparison Table
A structured markdown table comparing sources across key dimensions.
Research Questions
Suggested research questions identified from gaps and tensions in your sources.
Chapter or Paper Outline
A structured outline for a research chapter or academic paper, built from your sources.
Apply a refinement action to any output: expand, shorten, reorganize, add critical analysis, or write a custom instruction.
Choose exactly which sources power each output. Exclude a source you don't trust. Regenerate. See how the output changes.
Built-in verification panel. Mark each output section as verified, questionable, or needs revision. Add your own research notes per section.
Plan note
The Free plan includes 1 literature review output per month. Pro and Team plans unlock all 7 output types, unlimited generation, and output refinement.
Trust & Transparency
Academic research requires verifiable work. Context is designed around visibility: citations link only to your sources, extracted claims are labeled, and you control what gets used.
Context drafts from your reading list, not from a web search. The verification panel lets you review each section against passages from your sources. Citations link only to your sources, and an (Author, Year) citation that matches none of them is marked "Needs verification".
Every output includes a works cited block. A citation can link only to one of your sources, and from that source record you can open the full source analysis. An (Author, Year) citation that matches none of your sources is marked "Needs verification".
Claims are labeled with confidence levels (strong, moderate, weak, contested). Sources with anecdotal or unclear evidence are flagged. The verification panel lets you mark sections as verified, questionable, or needs revision.
Workspaces are private by default: no other user sees yours unless they are invited to it. Sources and outputs are stored encrypted. Your sources are sent to our AI provider only to process them for you (reading, analyzing and drafting), and they are not used to train AI models. All plans.
What this means in practice
Before submitting: Click an (Author, Year) citation to see the source it matches and the passages extracted from it, check the claim against that source, then click "Mark verified". Citations marked "Needs verification" matched none of your sources, so start with those.
When you're uncertain: Use the verification panel. Mark a section as "questionable" or "needs revision". Add a personal research note. Regenerate using only the sources you trust.
When a source is weak: Exclude it and regenerate the output without it.
Export & Workflow
Context exports are designed to slot directly into real research and writing workflows — not as a final product, but as a well-structured starting point you fully control.
Every generated output can be exported in four formats:
Export the full structured analysis for any single source — not just the raw file. Includes summary, main argument, methods, findings, limitations, key claims, passages, themes, and concepts.
Export any cross-source comparison as a structured document. Includes all comparison dimensions: synthesis, main arguments, methods, agreements, disagreements, conceptual overlaps, and gaps.
Export formatted citation lists in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, BibTeX, or RIS format. BibTeX and RIS files import directly into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and RefWorks.
Designed for handoff: Every export includes the works cited block, evidence type labels, and generation date. You can take it straight into a writing tool, annotate it, and continue from where Context stopped — maintaining full ownership and edit control throughout.
The Free plan gets you started immediately — 1 workspace, 20 sources, no credit card. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited sources, all output types, and full export control.
