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 ๐๐ผ
*๏ธโฃ 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.
Itโs like having a research assistant with superpowers.
๐คฏ 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.
๐ Lastly, we are thrilled to offer a special coupon for the PH community (50% off the annual plan) for the coming days.

โ๏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.
Iโm sure many of you can relate ๐ฉ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ๐คฌ
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?
๐ ComboDoc Project: Finally, you can process multiple documents at the same time. Add content to your project, and summarize it all together.
๐ฌ AI Research Copilot: Imagine you have your very own ChatGPT, inside Upword, to ask anything about what you need to know. Wow!
๐ Performance and mainly speed.
Coming up: Integrations that support more use cases.
We'll add a new integration every 2 weeks starting in July.

Hi PHers :)
I'm Maayan, Upword's lead Data Scientist ๐จโ๐ป
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.
With Upword, you can now effortlessly gather your documents from various sources such as links, PDFs, and Google Drive, summarize them, and perform free-text queries to make your research as efficient as possible.
What's more, Upword allows you to conveniently group your summarizations and even listen to them! ๐ง
We hope you'll discover its immense value.
๐
If you have any question on the models behind the scenes feel free to ask here!
@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 didnโt understand is that you emphasize adding your own notes and editing the summary yourself, how does this process save time then?
@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.
@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!
@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!
I was so excited about using this afraid Iโm gonna have to cancel. Canโt use it with an iPhone for some reason if you can, itโs near enough impossible I was sold in as you can tell me why I just canโt upload any documents.
@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.
@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. ๐ฌ Would increase conversion xx. Thanks for your reply ๐
Iโve 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 ๐
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?
@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
@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!
Upword 2.0 is an exceptional AI research assistant that truly lives up to its promise of having superpowers. Its advanced capabilities and intuitive interface make it a game-changer in the field of AI assistance.
