Postgrad

Literature Review
Lisa is a PhD and about to begin writing her thesis. She is currently researching her topic, and gathering academic articles to find a research topic and conduct a literature review.
Current Problems
GO LATERAL
The download folder is bursting with unread academic papers and content is stored in different places.
Everything in one place
Lateral lets you collect and organise all documents in one location.
Each PDF has to be opened, and CTRL+F-searched one by one.
Search across everything at once
Lateral lets you search across all documents in a project at once.
Over time, Lisa loses track of where quotes, ideas and arguments came from.
No more lost references
Lateral lets you save snippets of text in neatly-categorised table columns.
Finding supporting evidence and filtering through the noise for the literature review is stressful and overwhelming.
Find supporting arguments fast
Lateral AI learns what you are looking for and helps you find relevant passages within the content you upload.

Researcher

Papers & Reports
Tom is a researcher, running several projects. He both maintains his own and a couple collaborative projects. He wants to keep a clear overview of findings and sources for everyone to have a shared view on not just the research papers being reviewed, but also the findings within them.
Current Problems
GO LATERAL
Research and notes are spread across different software and are hard to find. 
Easily share findings
Lateral lets you keep track of your project’s research papers and quickly reference findings in one easy to share place.
Sharing research is inconvenient with multiple files being sent back and forth. Keeping track is difficult.
Create an active shared research space
Projects make it easy to have a shared source of truth.
When sharing documents for junior colleagues to review, significant time needs to be spent helping to guide them through what to look for. 
Provide a helpful guide to colleagues
When you share a project you can include some initial findings to help provide examples of what to look for.

Journalist

Evidence
Sara is a diligent journalist who wants to make sure she has all her sources and evidence nicely organised at hand when she writes her articles. She always looks for the connections across the content that others often miss.
Current Problems
GO LATERAL
All of Sara's evidence is stored in different folders across her computer. Sourcing from this evidence becomes difficult.
Everything stored in one workspace
In Lateral Sara stores her documents in projects and can search across all papers in a project or all projects at once.
Finding connections between content is difficult and Sara needs to rely on her own memory and manual tags to make connections.
Lateral is Sara's smart helper
For every search result Lateral shows similar passages from all the other papers. Concepts also help Sara search for the same themes in any of her projects.
Sara keeps all her notes in a huge excel sheet, which becomes difficult to manage to say the least.
Export to Excel and Word
With Lateral Sara not only has all her findings nicely organised in an automated table, but she can also easily export her findings when she starts writing.
