What is Scholarcy?
Scholarcy is an AI-powered research assistant that reads academic papers and reports, breaking them down into digestible summary flashcards. It extracts key findings, contributions, methods, limitations, and references from any paper. Researchers use it to quickly assess whether a paper is worth reading in full, while students use it to understand complex papers faster. The browser extension works on publisher sites, and the library feature lets you build a searchable knowledge base of summarized papers.
