ScholarXIV launches direct messages, group chats and @Scholar research agent
Overview
ScholarXIV launches direct messages, letting users find contacts by username or email and share files, papers and collections.
Groups with topics can add teams, and an @Scholar agent in every chat responds when a user tags it, using that chat's history and the user's personal context. Dagmawi Babi, who introduces the features on X, calls the agent a unique feature of the product.
