Information overload with zero source traceability.
Researching means juggling dozens of open tabs. Pasting text into external chatbots strips the original layout, loses context, and leaves you guessing whether the AI hallucinated the answer.
Lost source context
Pasting text into external chatbots separates answers from the original document.
Tab clutter and overload
Juggling 20 open tabs makes finding key data points slow and frustrating.
Unverifiable AI answers
Generic AI chatbots make confident claims without citing the exact paragraph.
