Throughout the past year, we have dedicated ourselves to incorporating your feedback, enhancing current features, and launching new tools. Our aim? To streamline, expedite, and enhance your research experience. Let's review Stork's standout moments from 2024! ✨


AI Paper


In 2024, we introduced AI paper, a cutting-edge tool designed to assist in crafting scientific introductions, essays, and abstracts by generating content based on user input, complete with authentic references. Writing used to feel like navigating a maze in the dark—but with AI Paper, it’s like flipping on a light switch. Clarity is achieved, and productivity is greatly enhanced.

Writing Assistant 


Our Writing Assistant, available on both the web and Word plugin, received three major updates last year:

1

Custom Instructions

You can create custom instructions based on your needs, enabling personalized text processing and writing assistance.

2

Sentence Sea Integration

The Sentence Sea integration can help you find similar sentences in a vast array of literature, providing inspiration and evidence for your writing. 

3

Polish in other languages 

In addition to English, you can choose Chinese (and other languages) as the target language, allowing you to polish text in other languages.

These updates make writing more flexible and efficient than ever before.


ChatPaper


ChatPaper, your trusted companion for reading and analyzing research papers, introduced four significant improvements:

1

Reading 5 Papers Simultaneously

 At the beginning of the year, ChatPaper had just completed an update to read two papers at the same time, and was updated again right after the end of the year. Now you can read five papers at a time, making it easy to compare the similarities and differences between the them.
