Quickstart
Follow these steps to set up Oystack for grounded research.1
Log in to your account
Navigate to Oystack and sign in to enter your research workspace.
2
Create or open a collection
Use the Hub to create a collection for the project, topic, or deliverable
you want to work on. This gives your sources and notes a clear home from
the start.
3
Add source material
Upload PDFs, Word documents, drafts, or notes you want Oystack to work
from. If you are reading papers online, you can also import them by DOI and
bring them into your library for later use.
4
Start a grounded conversation
Open chat and ask a research question, request a summary, or compare ideas
across your sources. Choose the mode that fits the work: regular chat,
library research, or web research.
5
Read, verify, and draft
When Oystack cites a source, open the reference to inspect the original
document in context. Then move into notes to capture findings, draft with
citations, and keep your research close at hand.
