Telescope has left early access. Any scholar on a Pro or Lab plan, or in their 7-day trial, can now use it.

## What's new

- **Compare papers side by side** - Pick a set of papers, describe your research goal, and choose the columns you want to compare. Telescope fills in every cell and lays the whole set out as one table, so you can read across methods, findings, and samples without opening each PDF.
- **A synthesis, not just a grid** - Once the table is filled, Telescope writes a short narrative of where the papers agree, where they differ, and which questions they leave open, with each point tracing back to the papers it draws from.
- **Evidence you can check** - Every cell carries a page citation. Click it to jump to the exact passage in the source PDF. When a paper does not report something, the cell says so instead of guessing.
- **Runs in the background** - Start an analysis and close the tab. Telescope shows what is done, what is pending, and what failed, and emails you when it is ready. If one cell fails, you can rerun just that cell.
- **A clear monthly allowance** - 3 analyses a month on Pro, 10 a month on Lab. Your usage is visible any time under Settings, Billing.

## What stays the same

Telescope only ever reads the papers you choose, and every answer traces back to a page you can open. Nothing is invented, and nothing is pulled from outside your library.
