so... what does it do?

i tried one of the example search prompts it gave me "let's discover academic papers" because i figured those prompts would be chosen to display whatever makes this search engine interesting. and i just got a bunch of useless SEO chum links like this: https://paperpile.com/g/academic-search-engines/ exactly like i would expect from any search engine for such a vague query. there's a "quick summary" button at the top, but it doesn't do anything.

why would i use this instead of google?
