Great when it works, with all its citation navigation and AI summary features. Even greater if it works more often across more sites.

Very useful tool, except for the fact it doesn't include the DOI when exporting the bibtex citation. Please add this feature!

This is a great tool! I have a few suggestions to improve it further: 1. Loading citations currently takes a bit longer. Making it faster would be super helpful. 2. Allow zooming in on the AI outline. 3. Add highlight/edit tools.

No funciona, el lector de PDF sigue siendo el lector incrustado en la página que en la mayoría de los casos es horrible.

It is a nice start. It would be a great benefit to be able to zoom on the AI overview or create a doc with the contents. Currently copying and pasting to a doc does not retain the structure of the overview (bullet points , headings, etc.).
