Dashboard
The dashboard is the starting surface for new work. Use it when you want to ask a question, upload a source, open something recent, or begin a reading workflow.What you can start
- Write Paper: Open the Hub and continue drafting from a collection.
- Read a PDF: Upload a source and open it in the reader.
- Import Existing Work: Bring in files such as drafts, documents, or source material.
- Query a Topic: Ask a question directly from the chat input.
Uploading from the dashboard
You can drag a file onto the input card or use the upload button. Once a file is attached, Oystack can suggest next actions:- Read in Context: Open the source in the reader.
- Summarize This: Ask for a summary using the selected mode.
- Add to Collection: Place the file into a collection before you keep working.
Choosing mode and model
The dashboard input lets you choose a mode before a conversation starts:- Chat: General questions, brainstorming, and light drafting help.
- Library Research: Grounded answers using your uploaded library and attached files.
- Web Research: Research that uses web sources when your local library is not enough.
Recent work
The Recent area shows current library files when available. Selecting a readable file opens it in the reader. If sample items are shown before you have uploaded files, selecting them prompts you to upload your own source.Good dashboard habits
- Attach a file before asking document-specific questions.
- Use Library Research when you need source-grounded answers.
- Add important files to a collection early so notes and resources stay together.
- Open Recent work when you want to continue reading instead of starting a new chat.
