Just tried it - this is pretty cool. How is it generating the search strategy? There were some questions in there that I hadnt thought of

The search strategy is generated by decomposing your initial query into sub-questions using custom prompting and retrieval heuristics— it tries to surface angles a researcher might ask but you might not think of initially.

Thats cool, yea I really like how you can actually see all the questions its asking. I'm actually learning alot through that on improving my own searches

pretty sick - is the student discount just for undergrad or masters/phd too?

Looks like you just need a .edu so I'm assuming phd also

Same question ^ is it just research papers? If so, thats really helpful. How does it compare to google scholar?
