Why students love Scholarly research
Stop spending hours searching for sources. Let AI do it in minutes.
Smart web search
AI automatically searches the web, evaluates sources for credibility, and extracts key information for your research question.
Auto-citations
Every source is properly cited. No more manually formatting references or bibliography entries.
Charts & visuals
Charts, graphs, and diagrams are automatically generated to illustrate key points in your paper.
From question to cited report in three steps
Ask anything. Scholarly plans the research, gathers credible sources, and writes it up for you.
Ask your question
Type a research question. Scholarly asks a few clarifying questions to narrow the scope and target the right sources.
AI researches the web
AI searches, reads, and evaluates sources, runs code in a sandbox to analyze data, and follows a visible research plan.

Turn Research into Study Materials
Convert any report into flashcards, quizzes, or editable pages with one click. Research flows directly into studying.
Research that flows straight into studying
Most research tools stop at the paper. Scholarly keeps going — every cited report becomes the source material for how you actually learn.
Turn any report into flashcards, quizzes, or editable pages with one click. The findings you just gathered become the exact material you revise from, grounded in the sources AI already verified.
Because research and studying live in the same workspace, you never copy-paste between tools. Ask a question, get a cited answer, and study it — all in one place.
Frequently asked questions
How does Scholarly find sources?
AI searches the web, evaluates each source for credibility, and extracts the relevant information for your question. You can filter to academic papers, news, textbooks, government reports, or encyclopedias — or search across all of them.

Yes. Every claim in your report is tied to a real source, and citations are formatted automatically. You can review each source directly from the report.
Can I use my own documents in research?
Absolutely. Link PDFs, pages, and flashcards from your library so AI grounds its research in your own material alongside what it finds on the web.
What can I do with a finished report?
Turn it into flashcards, quizzes, or editable pages with one click, listen to the audio narration, or ask follow-up questions to go deeper — all in the same session.
