Retention Engine
Never forget a concept again
Turn source documents and notes into editable active-recall decks without building every card by hand. Sit a timed practice exam from any deck, challenge an answer key you think is wrong and have it checked against the source, then ask for AI feedback on the whole attempt.
- Instant generation from any file type
- Smart spaced repetition scheduling
- Paid export to Anki & PDF
Visual Learning
Watch your PDFs come alive
Upload source material and create a narrated visual explanation with animations, charts, and illustrations. Paid lectures start on Freestyle, where the AI chooses the format that suits the material; pick Standard, Illustrated, Short, or Manim Math Animation yourself and that always wins. Each video includes chapters, captions, a transcript, AI chat, and interactive checkpoints.

Source-grounded AI assistant
An assistant that knows your sources
Ask across the documents, recordings, and videos you added and get an answer built from them. Every citation is checked against your linked sources before the answer is saved, so the Sources button on an answer always opens the exact page it came from.
- Cited answers, with a Sources button listing every page used
- Citations checked against your sources before the answer is saved
- Ask it to file the work into a project, or to have it ready for a date you name
Real Research
Say what you need produced, get the finished file
Ask a work question or attach your own sources, then choose what to produce: a decision-ready brief, a comparison table, a cited report, or a slide deck. Scholarly investigates, cites what it used, and hands back files you can circulate.
- Choose your deliverable: brief, table, cited report, or slides
- Prioritize journals, handbooks, news, or government sources
- Start from a literature review, market landscape, policy analysis, or due diligence memo
Used at work, in research, and while studying
What people who work from their own documents say.
Scholarly has been a valuable tool for my studies. The AI-generated flashcards and intuitive features make organizing and retaining information much easier.
This app is great for studying for big test. Drop your PDF's in the system and it'll do the trick. You can organize it specifically for your needs.
I am currently preparing for a test that covers a substantial amount of material, and I've found that not having to physically write out my flashcards has been incredibly beneficial. This approach has freed up more time for me to focus on memorization and really engage with the content.
