Read with AI
Lenses
Same paper, three different reads. Lenses give you the work re-explained for your discipline, the strongest version of its argument, or the best counter-argument against it.
The three lenses
- Translate for my discipline — re-explained in terms a researcher in a different field will recognise. Useful when a paper uses notation or methods from outside your area.
- Strongest version — the most charitable reading: what the work would mean if every claim is exactly right.
- Best counter-argument — where the load-bearing assumption breaks. The lens to read before citing the work yourself.
How they differ from the analysis
The three top-of-page sections (overview / analysis / authors' position) try to describe the work neutrally. Lenses are deliberately interpretive — each takes a stance and runs with it. Together they triangulate.
Cost
Lenses are generated on click and cached, so the first click costs a Claude call but every subsequent visit is free. They're part of the same per-IP AI rate limit as the rest of the AI features.
