Research Synthesis at Scale

Researching a topic means reading dozens of articles, papers, and reports. Synthesizing that information into coherent insights is the hard part. Stash Desktop handles both.

How It Works

1. Gather Sources Drop in PDFs, web articles, academic papers, or even entire folders of research materials.

2. Ask Questions

• "What are the main arguments for and against this approach?"
• "Summarize the methodology used across these studies"
• "Find contradictions between these sources"
• "Create a literature review on this topic"

3. Generate Reports Stash produces structured research reports with citations, comparisons, and synthesis across all sources.

Real-World Applications with Concrete Examples
