-# Research Compass
+# Inkling: AI-assisted research discovery
 
-Research Compass is a tool that helps you navigate the vast sea of research papers. It uses embeddings to connect research papers and discover new insights.
+[**Inkling**](https://nomadicsynth-research-compass.hf.space) is an AI-assisted tool that helps you discover meaningful connections between research papers — the kind of links a domain expert might spot, if they had time to read everything.
 
-This is using the first prototype version of the model. The model is trained on a dataset of arXiv abstract triplets created from a synthetic dataset of 10,000 abstract pair ratings. The dataset will be made available soon.
+Rather than relying on superficial similarity or shared keywords, Inkling is trained to recognize **reasoning-based relationships** between papers. It evaluates conceptual, methodological, and application-level connections — even across disciplines — and surfaces links that may be overlooked due to the sheer scale of the research landscape.
+
+This demo uses the first prototype of the model, trained on a dataset of **10,000+ rated abstract pairs**, built from a larger pool of arXiv triplets. The system will continue to improve with feedback and will be released alongside the dataset for public research.

+
+## What it does
+
+- Accepts a research abstract, idea, or question
+- Searches for papers with **deep, contextual relevance**
+- Highlights key conceptual links and application overlaps
+- Offers reasoning-based analysis between selected papers
+- Gathers user feedback to improve the model over time

+
+## Why Inkling?
+
+> Because the right connection is often obvious — once someone points it out.
+
+Researchers today are overwhelmed by volume. Inkling helps restore those missed-but-meaningful links between ideas, methods, and fields — links that could inspire new directions, clarify existing work, or enable cross-pollination across domains.

+
+## Status
+
+Inkling is in **alpha** and under active development. The current model is hosted via Gradio, with a Hugging Face Space available for live interaction and feedback. Contributions, feedback, and collaboration are welcome.
