Q: Do you think you will eventually add legal research capabilities to your platform?
Hello,
I love this concept and will be purchasing soon. Will you be adding legal research capabilities into your platform as well in the future? That would be a game changer to help people who are not lawyers, allowing equal access to justice! It would really level the playing field.
Thank you, John

A: Hi John, thanks for your suggestion! We're not planning to add legal resources at this time, but we will be building adding PDF uploads soon. That might come in handy!
Legal sources are indeed interesting though, and people occasionally ask about it! I'd encourage you to share your ideas on our roadmap.readwonders.com or vote on the ones that are already there.

A: Hi, we're still working out the details around the possible BYOK functionality as well as rollout strategy. Sorry I don't have a concrete answer to this yet.
Q: Is this an alternative to Perplexity.ai or Google's notebook?

A: Hi Tania, in a sense yes... in many ways Wonders is better, but it depends on your use-case.
Wonders is really controllable, we combine more traditional search approach with AI, so that you choose the exact keywords and sources that will be used for AI processing. It is also much better for academic, technical, scientific, and patent information—as we draw on peer-reviewed journals & patent...
well google workspace gives you enterprise privacy on LMnotebook and gemini. So we are not sure yet if this is an alternative; of course the features there will be backed by the largest information services company in the world, Google, so the deep research would be hard to compete with from a startup unless they also commit to privacy and continuous improvement ;-)
I don't know who wrote this, but it wasn't our team.
Deep Research actually hallucinates far more than Wonders and you have little control over sources. As for privacy & security—we do not allow our providers to train models on our user's data, and as for continuous improvement—we have large universities and leading companies as our customers, whose needs we're committed to supporting too.
Does o3 deep research and gemini's 2.5pro deep research hallucinate more than Wonders? Just wondering. I thought those ones were pretty dang good if not the best in the world even above opus4 or china's (where privacy assurances are missing).
We haven't done any formal comparisons. Anecdotally, the issues stem from quoting irrelevant sources and context window limitations. With Wonders you have control over utilized sources, the literature is pre-vetted by peer-review, and we use a rolling context window to process the response. So, in general the responses are better grounded and traceable.
Hi, this software looks great. If we buy tier 3 or 4 with the Org Administration (many workspaces and seats, unlimited searching) can you please confirm that this is covered by the "privacy, security" which is mentioned on your Wonder Teams plan on the website? I just want to be sure that we aren't getting a subpar privacy deal if we buy here. Thank you.

A: Yup, the plans are comparable. If you're talking about private model deployment and enterprise governance, that is only available on our Enterprise plans and not included in this exclusive AppSumo deal.
Q: How do you compare to:
1) PaperGuide
2) ChatGPT research
All the best!

Thanks. Not asking about governance or private models just the team plan privacy which you said is comparable in that regard. Thank you.
