They broke their lifetime promises

Pros

Generating text from scientific articles is a standout feature especially with the one click source reveal that makes everything more transparent. The AI powered text editor is also very well done and the source library adds a lot of value since it allows ongoing interaction and collaboration in a really practical way.

Cons

The biggest problem is the support and the unfulfilled promises made to Lifetime users. I paid for unlimited storage and unlimited AI usage and those benefits were later taken away even though I had been assured they would remain included.

One-click summaries work great

Pros

Being able to summarize multiple documents with a single click is incredibly useful and saves a lot of time.

Cons

One limitation is that it still cannot write equations in their standard format which makes them harder to understand.

provides helpful guidance

Pros

The team behind Afforai clearly understands the research space and has a well-defined roadmap for how an AI tool should support it. There are also useful materials available that explain how to use this tool, how chats are structured and how prompts should be written.

Cons

I haven't noticed any downsides yet since the tool is still new and we actually decided to upgrade our plan because we believe in its future development.
