What is Scholarly?

What can I upload or add to Scholarly?
You can bring in PDFs, notes, AI Meeting Notes, slide decks, images, YouTube videos, webpages, and other study materials. Scholarly keeps the work tied to your sources so answers and generated materials stay relevant to the class you are actually taking.

Use one source across multiple formats so you can review, practice, and explain the same material in different ways.
Can I organize work for different classes or projects?
Yes. You can keep sources and generated materials organized so each class, topic, or project has its own context. You can also explore public study resources from other students when you want examples or extra review material. Start exploring here .
