An assistant with your full context.
Reading a paper, you spot a link to something from last week. Ask, and it finds the paper, links your thoughts, writes the note.
Replace Obsidian, Zotero, Acrobat, and ChatGPT with one workspace.
Papers, references, highlights, notes, and reading, unified. No more context switching.
Perfect context for AI agents. They work off your tasks, like you would.

Scaling laws: what survives
Reading [[@kaplan2020scaling]] alongside Chinchilla. Two threads worth pulling on.
Compute-optimal frontier shifts when data quality dominates [12]
The "irreducible loss" floor in [7] looks like a measurement artifact

Added @scaling2026frontier to your library, linked it to two notes, and tagged it.
The mess today
Your research is scattered across five tools.
Obsidian for notes. Zotero for references. Acrobat for PDFs. ChatGPT for questions. Plus folders, tabs, bookmarks, screenshots, and citation chains held together by hand. Nothing knows about anything else.
Episteme puts your papers, references, highlights, notes, and reading in one place. One library. One map of what you know.
Read PDFs, write linked notes, and manage references, all in one place.

The unlock
Because it's all in one place, an assistant can actually help.
When your whole research context lives together, you get an assistant that knows all of it, not a chatbot you paste into. It reads, links, highlights, and writes across your entire library. It finds connections you would miss, and does work that was not possible before.

Found the Chinchilla paper. Linked your note and drafted the connection.What that looks like
Work that was not possible before.
Reading becomes a diff against your worldview.
Add a new paper, ask the agents to highlight every line pink that touches what you already believe. See what is new, what conflicts, instantly.
Skim 50 papers at once.
Need the methodology across fifty papers? Ask once. It works through all of them and hands back a table.
A story you can trace, and hand over.
Every claim links back through paper to paper to reference. Trace any idea to its source. Hand your whole library to the next researcher, intact.
What separates a good scientist from a bad scientist, though they are both technically very capable: the great scientist is more creative.
