Good morning PH! Roee here, and it feels fu**ing awesome to be back on this stage. First, huge thanks to @benln for hunting us ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ *๏ธโƒฃ Who are we? Upword is a tool that makes reading, learning, and organizing new content faster and more efficient than ever before. Whether conducting professional research, studying for school, or learning a new skill - Upword is the tool for you. Itโ€™s like having a research assistant with superpowers. ๐Ÿคฏ Our Vision: We are building a game-changing knowledge tool that will essentially become an extension of your brain, processing the infinite data points for you based on your profile and helping you take control over your life's knowledge. Imagine you can get the bottom line of exactly what you need to know, served to you in the most simplistic & delightful way possible. No more barriers. Our first step is building this powerful research tool powered by AI. Welcome to Upword 2.0. ๐ŸŽ Lastly, we are thrilled to offer a special coupon for the PH community (50% off the annual plan) for the coming days. --- โŒš๏ธ People need more than just a summarization app that saves time. We learned a lot from the PH community and our users in the past 10 months. Your feedback drove us to re-evaluate how we view the problem. The real problem is: There's simply too much information available to us every single moment. And it's only getting worse, with generative AI. It's overwhelming, confusing, and intimidating. Iโ€™m sure many of you can relate ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿคฌ This is why we designed Upword 2.0 with a full focus on processing the information for you. The demands of the modern era require a solution that seamlessly syncs with your workflow and can ease the heavy-lifting parts of processing new content. So what's new? ๐Ÿ“‘ ComboDoc Project: Finally, you can process multiple documents at the same time. Add content to your project, and summarize it all together. ๐Ÿ’ฌ AI Research Copilot: Imagine you have your very own ChatGPT, inside Upword, to ask anything about what you need to know. Wow! ๐ŸŽ Performance and mainly speed. Coming up: Integrations that support more use cases. We'll add a new integration every 2 weeks starting in July. --- ๐Ÿ“ช Please leave your comments & feedback - so we can learn! We take every single comment seriously. Thank you for your support! Roee and the team ๐ŸŽ‰

Hi PHers :) I'm Maayan, Upword's lead Data Scientist ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป We're thrilled to unveil our latest progress and eagerly await your thoughts. At Upword, we've harnessed a suite of cutting-edge Large Language Models to tackle your everyday research needs.

What's more, Upword allows you to conveniently group your summarizations and even listen to them! ๐ŸŽง We hope you'll discover its immense value. ๐Ÿ’ If you have any question on the models behind the scenes feel free to ask here!
Dan
@sha_maayan, awesome build! What is your tech stack under the hood?
Maayan Shalom
@dan_meier1 thanks Dan :) We Use OpenAI, AI21 and Google's model. We tailored each model to a specific task based on performance and cost so we could offer the best value per dollar ratio :) Glad you liked it!

Congratulations on the launch!! one thing I didnโ€™t understand is that you emphasize adding your own notes and editing the summary yourself, how does this process save time then?
Roee Barak
@gregz Fantastic question Greg. As you must know there is a never-ending friction between learning and saving time. So we need to compare apples to apples here. If you want a quick AI-based summary - we give you that. In a few moments you get it done and off you go. BUT - if you choose the "blue" pill, and want to get active to a certain extent, meaning you get the AI notes and want to interact, edit, add comments, images, and more - basically personalizing the AI outcome - then that takes more time of course. And still, we will save you significant time if you compare it to going through the process without Upword. Always think of the alternative. When you do, you will realize Upword makes you more productive no matter what.
Eden Vidal
Love it! Going to try the "listen to your summaries" part, which is a feature I've been seeking forever.
Roee Barak
@ishkash_8 Yes! We learned that from our users. People want to end the research by creating a summary doc they can later consume, and lots of them need audio. Thanks again!
Neha
Congratulation on the launch! A helpful tool for conducting research more efficiently and collaborating effectively.
Roee Barak
@neha_joshi8 Thank you so much!
Dan Leshem
Great product. I've been using it for a while and my research workflow has become a lot more efficient. Thanks @roee_barak1 and the team!
Roee Barak
@dan_leshem thank you so much. Let us know what you want us to add next :)
Elad Mallel
๐Ÿ’ก Bright idea
very cool! where do you store the notes I take? and could I export them out of your product later?
Roee Barak
@eladmallel Good question Elad! At the moment we store them in our DB, of course, taking care of your privacy as a top priority. No access to anyone, no third parties. In the future, we will also add integrations and allow you to export notes.

Congrats on the launch @roee_barak1 and team! Upword is an indispensable research tool for individuals and teams alike. Love the new co-pilot capabilities!
Roee Barak
@plgeek Thank you so much Ben! Appreciate this feedback.
Ziv Shacham
How useful! Does the combodoc feature have a limit on the number of documents I can summarize at once?
Roee Barak
@ziv_shacham Hi Ziv. Yes - The Combodoc project is currently limited to 10 docs per research.
Yair Vardi
Game changer! @roee_barak1 & Upword team - proud to be part of the journey. Impressive achievement ๐Ÿ‘
Roee Barak
@yair_vardi Thank you so much! We really appreciate you guys.
Carol Andrews
I was so excited about using this afraid Iโ€™m gonna have to cancel. Canโ€™t use it with an iPhone for some reason if you can, itโ€™s near enough impossible I was sold in as you can tell me why I just canโ€™t upload any documents.
Andrรฉ J
Looks cool. So it summarises documents? what else does it do?
Roee Barak
@sentry_co Hi there! Thanks for the question. Upword helps you organize all your content in a smart and easy library experience and then supports you with any research task you may have. We do summarize docs, but we also simplify text, auto-highlight, extract keywords, and allow you to personalize every note and snippet - so you can publish a summary doc that is 100% according to your needs. With 2.0 we also offer a Research Copilot - like ChatGPT that is available for your questions during your research. We will keep on building the product so it gives you more processing and research superpowers.
Andrรฉ J
@roee_barak1 Sweet. that clarifies things. I would maybe show some small fits of the scenarios of what you just said. The age old: don't tell me show me. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Would increase conversion xx. Thanks for your reply ๐Ÿ™
Roee Barak
@sentry_co Thank you! Try it for yourself and tell us how we did!
Sofia Kalman
Iโ€™ve been using Upword since it was in beta and WOW has it grown!!!! A truly product that keeps getting better and better. The new co-pilot feature is mind blowing. Looking forward to continue seeing Upword grow ๐Ÿ‘
Roee Barak
@skalman99 Thank you Sofia!
G&G
How many documents can I summarize at once? Usually there are a set of PDFs that I'll be reading for research. Also, is there a bulk upload capability so that I don't need to upload one by one?
Roee Barak
@g_g10 Hi there! Good question. So with our new ComboDoc feature, you can summarize up to 10 docs at once, and yes, you can upload them all together - check this out: https://youtu.be/OpqJr5UNUHQ

Been using Upword for a while. The best tool I've ever used to digest information! Keep up the good work!
Roee Barak
@amit13 Thanks. So happy you like it!
Aida Zu
Wow, looks so promising, do you have free plan?
Roee Barak
@aidai_zu Hi there! We have a free 7-day trial with Upword Pro and all the features. Then if you downgrade, you can use Upword Basic for free, but without many of the AI features... In addition - our Chrome extension is free!
