As we enter the year 2025, Stork is proud to mark another year of supporting researchers globally. 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.
2
Startup Questions
You can set some questions in advance. When you upload a paper, ChatPaper will automatically answer these questions for you.
3
Explain or translate
Instantly translate sentences or explain term without needing extra clicks.
Free publication tracking and Stork Pro
To date a large number of users have subscribed to publications tracking through Stork, and we continued to optimize the function to improve the user experience in 2024.
1
Keyword suggestions
Fine-tune your keywords for more accurate and effective tracking.

Reading guide
If there are many papers in an email, it's hard to keep up with reading them all. We will summarize the content of the publications and create a reading guide, allowing you to stay updated more efficiently.
3
Interactive Abstract Reading
Link Stork emails with ChatPaper to seamlessly dive into abstract reviews. You can use ChatPaper to summarize the content, highlights, etc. of an article to help you quickly grasp the key points of it in a short period of time.
