Use cases

How Consultants Use Scholarly

Ramp on a new industry in days

Run Deep Research on the market, then load the key reports and question them directly. Walk into the kickoff already conversant, with sources to back you up.

Question the client's documents

Upload data-room PDFs, prior decks, and internal docs. Ask what you need - answers cite the page they came from, so your findings are defensible.

Turn findings into slides

Generate a clean, structured deck from your documents and notes - a starting point for the storyline instead of a blank template.

Use the travel time

Convert industry reports and briefings into podcasts and audio overviews - get through the reading list on flights and between client sites.

Features

Features That Matter for Client Work

Deep Research

A structured, cited brief on any market, company, or technology in minutes - then drill into the parts that matter for the engagement.

Citation-backed answers

Every answer from your documents points at the source page. Verify before it goes in the deck - no unsourced claims in front of a client.

Workshops & calls to notes

Record workshops and expert calls or upload the audio. Get transcripts, structured notes, and a recap you can query afterwards.

Concept maps of a new domain

Map how an unfamiliar industry fits together - players, drivers, dependencies - from the material you loaded, not generic knowledge.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Scholarly do for consultants?

Scholarly is an AI workspace for engagements: load industry reports, data-room PDFs, prior decks, and call recordings, then ask questions and get grounded, citation-backed answers. It runs cited deep research on new markets, transcribes expert calls, and generates structured slide decks from your material.

How fast can I get up to speed on a new industry?

Run Deep Research for a cited overview in minutes, then upload the key reports and question them directly. Most consultants use the combination to be genuinely conversant before the kickoff - with sources they can point to for every claim.

Is client material kept private?

Your uploads are private to your account and are not shared with other users. You control your library and can delete materials at any time. For engagement-specific confidentiality obligations, apply your firm's own policies on cloud tools.

Can it really make slides from my documents?

Yes. Scholarly generates a structured PDF deck from your documents and notes, with sections, takeaways, and supporting points. It's a working first draft of the storyline, not a finished client deliverable. Use Refine or the side chat to request edits to the existing PDF, or regenerate with different instructions for a new draft.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can work with uploaded documents. Scholarly brings the engagement's data-room files, reports, and call recordings into a persistent workspace, with answers that cite the source passages so you can check findings throughout the project.
