What types of documents can I chat with?
You can chat with full-text papers from Consensus, papers saved in your Library, and documents you upload yourself.
In addition to published papers, you can upload your own documents, including manuscripts, experiment proposals, dissertations, clinical protocols, private research reports, and more. Once uploaded, you can ask questions about those documents and search across them alongside papers from Consensus.
Uploads are private and only accessible to you unless you choose to share a Collection that includes them.

Chatting with the full text of a paper, Collection, or your entire Library is available only in Pro or Deep search mode. To unlock more usage, upgrade to the Pro subscription.
You can use the + button in the search bar to upload a single paper and chat directly with that document.
