Telescope compares the papers you choose in one matrix: one row per paper, one column per question, every cell cited to the exact page, with a synthesis that names the gaps. Pro includes 3 analyses a month and Lab includes 10. Loops is a weekly research digest: pick up to five keywords and a time, and Alfred emails you what changed in your field over the last seven days, with sources. Both are included with every paid plan. Second Brain is the memory behind Ask Alfred. After each conversation, Alfred captures the durable learnings, your research directions, decisions, and conclusions, as connected notes filed into folders. The notes are yours to edit, they link to each other, they trace back to the conversations that made them, and they feed future answers so Alfred remembers where you left off. It is included with every paid plan, and you can pause capture whenever you like. Yes. On any paid plan, or during your trial, a workspace owner can connect a key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, or Amazon Bedrock in Settings, and your chat runs on it with your message limits lifted. One key is active at a time, and you pay your provider directly for what you use. Embeddings and originality checks always stay on Alfred Scholar's shared engine, so search and plagiarism detection keep working. You can remove your key at any time. You do. Your documents, citations, manuscripts, and all research data belong to you. We never use your data to train AI models. You can export everything at any time. Still have questions?
