Scholarcy is an AI summarizing tool for the academic researcher, policy researcher, and journalist. Scholarcy makes it easy to summarize key points from research papers. The tool also suggests additional background reading, important highlights and key points, and summarizes output based on multiple papers that the researcher is working through.
Pro’s:
Here’s what we like about Scholarcy:
- Comprehends large quantities of research papers: For the academic researcher, they might want to go through more than 10 PDF files or research articles to start building their summarizations and key points. Scholarcy does a great job of managing this specifically for academics.
- Nice to have additional reading recommendations: Does a great job of providing accurate reading recommendations based on the files under your profile.
Con’s:
Here’s what we don’t like about Scholarcy:
- Limited to a specific use case: It’s fairly limited to the use case of academic and policy researchers. This is more a replacement for those who are looking to get away from traditional note taking and printing papers.
Pricing:
- Free to try. Limited to 3 summaries per day.
- Scholarcy Plus: $9.99 per month
