FAQs
Is Fabric free?
Yes. Fabric has a free plan that includes spaces, AI assistant access, search, and all core features. Paid plans add more storage and advanced capabilities.
How is this different from Zotero or Mendeley?
Reference managers are built for citations and bibliographies. Fabric is built for thinking. The AI assistant reads and understands your entire library, so you can ask questions across all your sources, find connections between papers, and write alongside your references. It's a workspace, not just a filing system.
Can I use it for qualitative research?
Yes. Upload interview recordings, field notes, images, or documents. Fabric transcribes audio, makes everything searchable, and the AI assistant can help you identify themes and patterns across your data.
Can I collaborate with my research group?
Yes. Share a space with anyone. They can add papers, annotate documents, and chat with the AI assistant about shared materials.
Does Fabric work with LaTeX or academic writing tools?
Fabric's editor is markdown-based, and you can export your notes and writing to use in any tool. It's designed for the thinking and synthesis stage of research, alongside your sources.
