Hello! Chat with Papers is one of the newest capabilities added to Elicit. Last week, we made performance improvements to make it work better for you, including:

If you haven't tried Chat with Papers yet, here's a quick tutorial on how you can use it to ask more open-ended questions about the papers you find in Elicit. 

You can use Chat to understand things like:

Elicit Plus users can chat with 8 papers at a time and use the full text of the papers, while Elicit Free users can chat with 4 at a time and use just the abstracts. 

Chat is a very general and open-ended capability. It's hard to balance making it stick to the papers you selected in some cases, and making it flexible to general questions you have in other cases. I hope these improvements help!
