What's new

Changelog

New features, improvements and fixes in CurTask, newest first.

16 October 2026 Cite and add to the matrix from a paper, and free PDFs

Cite from a paper's details in a project library: choose the section of your draft, and whether the citation reads (Author, year) or Author (year).
Add to matrix from a paper's details puts the paper in the project's literature matrix. Once it is there, the button says Added to matrix.
Import a reference or a citing paper straight from a paper's Connections tab.
In Writing, the reader lists the project's papers on its left by first author and year, so you can switch papers in one click.

A paper's Connections are found in the background after you save it, so the tab opens at once.
When you save a paper without its PDF, CurTask adds its free (open-access) PDF for you when one is available. Papers still without a PDF show a crossed-out file icon in the list.
Features of the paid plans now carry a small yellow gem, so you can see at a glance what the paid plans add.

Credits: each AI action now uses a few more credits, and the Free plan gets many more credits each month. The estimate before you start always shows the amount.
Long documents such as theses and dissertations can now be analysed and used in the matrix. A longer document uses more credits, as the estimate shows before you start.

End-User Agreement: the first time you sign in, CurTask shows the agreement for using it, in plain words first. You can read it any time on the End-User Agreement page.
A second check on some AI answers: Check my citations, Find support and matrix values now get a second check before you see them.
Problem statement draft: the short interview at the start of a project now drafts your problem statement from your own answers, tidied into one paragraph. It stays Suggested until you accept it.

Check my citations raises fewer false alarms: citations that the paper does back are no longer flagged.
Find support leaves out suggested papers that don't actually back your claim.
A matrix value whose quote may not fully back it is marked Check this one, so you can look before accepting. The value itself is never hidden or changed.
Clearer website text, and plan prices that show straight away on the Pricing page.

Code all papers with AI (paid plans): one button suggests codes for every paper in a project. Every suggestion stays Suggested until you accept it.
Link all with AI on the Synthesis Map (paid plans): suggests how the quotes in each of your themes agree, contradict or extend each other.
AI coding suggestions are now part of the paid plans. On the free plan you keep coding by hand, with everything you made before.

The writing sidebar now builds on your accepted analysis: Check my citations, Find support and Compare start from the matrix values, codes and themes you have accepted.
A matrix value you cite in your draft while it is still Suggested is marked Suggested in the draft too, until you accept it.
On the free plan, the writing sidebar's AI actions tell you what they will use from your credits and ask before they run.
The Pricing page and the comparison pages show the newest features. Features still being tested are marked "Coming soon".

Links on the Synthesis Map now follow their quotes when you merge codes or adjust a coded passage.

Download all your data: in Settings → Profile → Your data, make one file with everything in your account. We tell you in the app and by email when it is ready.
Papers without a PDF: a paper saved with only its details is marked "No PDF". Add the PDF later from the paper, and CurTask checks it is the right paper before attaching it.
Save to CurTask, a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave, is coming soon. See the Download page.
New public pages: Features, About, comparisons with other research tools and the legal documents, in English and Bahasa Melayu.
Every email from CurTask now has the same clear CurTask design, in English and Bahasa Melayu.

Links to CurTask pages show a proper preview when you share them in chat apps and social media.
Bahasa Melayu: a research paper is now called "artikel" everywhere.
