Research Center & Organization Tools

Released: January 24, 2026

Highlights

This release transforms how you research and organize your work in Onsomble. The new Research Center unifies source discovery and AI-powered report generation into a single interface—no more leaving Onsomble for deep research tasks. Under the hood, Deep Research V2 uses iterative research loops with 30-100+ queries per session, producing significantly more comprehensive reports.

On the organization front, notebook folders let you group notebooks into meaningful categories, while board canvas gains labels, cycles, and detailed card views for better project management. Combined with a refreshed UI featuring glassmorphism toolbars and speed dial menus, this update makes Onsomble more powerful and pleasant to use.
