Guide Commercial Use

Using Scholarly Content Commercially

You can use content you create on Scholarly for commercial projects. Flashcards, notes, slides, video lectures, podcasts, research reports, and AI chat responses you generate belong to you, and you are free to use them in your own work -- paid or otherwise.

What You Can Do

You are allowed to:

  • Use generated flashcards, summaries, or study guides in a paid tutoring session.
  • Include AI-generated slides or videos in a commercial course or workshop.
  • Publish research reports, essays, or notes you created with Scholarly.
  • Sell or distribute content you generated, as long as you have the right to use the underlying source material.

What You Still Need to Check

Scholarly does not own your generated content, but you are still responsible for making sure the underlying sources are legal to use. That means:

  • Copyrighted material -- If you uploaded a textbook, research paper, or other copyrighted source, you still need the right to redistribute derivative work. Personal study is always fine; commercial redistribution may not be.
  • Third-party content -- Images, quotes, and data pulled from the web (for example, during Deep Research) remain subject to their original licenses.
  • Accuracy -- AI output can contain mistakes. Review and verify generated content before using it in professional or academic work.

Attribution

Attribution is optional but appreciated. If you publish or share content made with Scholarly, a note like "Generated with Scholarly" is welcome but never required.
