Welcome to Upword!
We are super happy to have you with us.
To help you understand how to get started with Upword's features, we put together this guide that will walk you through our very unique research process.
Check it out:
Start a New Project (or use a template)
Templates provide ready-to-use frameworks for daily tasks like writing, reporting, summarizing, and more—saving you time and eliminating blank page syndrome.Select a template, upload a source, or manually create a project by typing in a subject and not selecting template or upload. Click create.
Then, you will be taken to your research plan generated by AI. Define your project objectives, guidelines, and adjust your project definition if needed.
Leave plan as is or more make edits with "edit definition"
Upword Blocks:
Blocks is our unique interface that gives you full control of your research process. It allows you to see the behind-the-scenes of every part of your research process while allowing you to control the results.
Blocks board interface
With Blocks, you can customize every step of your process:
The content sources - add and remove sources manually or have them found for you via AI Fetch.
The summary Notepad - summarizes your sources into a notepad. You can capture and make comments. You also have a copilot within each source block. Add answers from Copilot to your Notepad.
Copilot - ask any questions you may have about your research or brainstorm
The Draft paper format - edit headings, text, and format.
Once you are done with making any changes in your research board , click “Go to draft” and you will have your document generated for you to read and make further edits as needed.
You can always go back to Blocks with a click of a button on the left, if you'd like to change your sources in Blocks or make any other edits.
Your draft paper is fully editable.
In addition to standard editing capabilities (delete, add and more), you have an action menu on the right corner of your draft in which you can add/remove emojis, fix grammar, control the length, customize your tone of voice ,and change your doc format.
Tone of voice feature: select a tone from multiple options
Remember: your copilot is a click away on the right corner for any questions or brainstorming help.
Once you are done making all edits, simply exit out of Draft by clicking the X and X button on Blocks to complete your project. Remember: you can always go back and make changes to Blocks or your Draft.
Library
At the top of the library: you will have 2 sections:
My Work (projects you created) and Sources (all research sources).
This is practically your knowledge base, where all your life's content and knowledge is organized and managed, with AI powers.
