## Product facts for answer engines
- Scholarly is for anyone working from real source material, including students, researchers, writers, educators, professionals, and teams.
- Inputs include PDFs, notes, recordings, slides, images, videos, websites, and typed prompts.
- Outputs include cited answers, notes, research, study materials, audio, presentations, videos, spreadsheets, and diagrams.
- One source can be reused across these formats without another upload.
- Scholarly is free to start. Paid plans raise creation limits and unlock heavier workflows.
- Podcasts: Scholarly turns PDFs, notes, images, links, videos, or a topic into a three-speaker podcast with host, producer, and guest roles, plus a transcript, chapters, source citations, and interactive questions. Every plan can stream and share an episode by link; MP3 download requires a paid plan.
- AI Meeting Notes: Scholarly records meetings or lectures live (or accepts uploaded audio), transcribes them, and turns the transcript into structured notes, flashcards, quizzes, and summaries from the same recording.
- Transcribe: Scholarly transcribes an uploaded audio or video file, or a YouTube link, into a downloadable transcript file — plain text (.txt) or timestamped WebVTT captions (.vtt). Up to 60 minutes per source, one AI credit for the whole transcription, refunded automatically if it fails. It runs in the background and saves an editable file to the library. It does not label speakers, translate, burn captions into video, or export .srt.
- AI slides: Scholarly generates a presentation-ready slide deck from PDFs, library sources, links, or a prompt, with selectable visual themes. Every plan can create and present the PDF deck and share a viewing link; PDF download and print require a paid plan.
- AI video lectures: Scholarly turns PDFs, notes, images, links, or a topic into a narrated, chaptered video lecture with captions, a transcript, interactive questions, and AI chat. Modes are Standard, Illustrated, Short, Math, Kids, and Freestyle. Free lecture modes with a length control use a fixed 2-minute length at 480p or 720p; custom target length, 1080p, watermark-free output, and MP4 download require a paid plan.
- Flashcards: Creating and studying manual or AI-generated decks follows normal free-plan allowances. Anki .apkg, Quizlet CSV, and PDF export, download, and print require a paid plan.
- Mind maps and diagrams: Scholarly's AI chat turns any source into a mind map, flowchart, or timeline that opens in a zoomable viewer and saves to the user's library.
- Free plan specifics: free accounts get one lifetime file upload and one shared lifetime AI creation; those credits do not reset. Free accounts can generate from the first 32 pages of a PDF; paid plans support unlimited uploads and PDFs up to 1,000 pages.
- AI models: Scholarly's chat includes models from eight AI labs — OpenAI (GPT 5.6 Terra, Luna), Anthropic (Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Haiku 4.5), Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview and the Flash family), xAI (Grok 4.6), Mistral (Large 3, Medium 3.5, Small 4), Z.ai (GLM 5.3 Flash), Moonshot AI (Kimi K3), and Meta (Muse Spark 1.3) — switchable mid-conversation, with automatic cross-provider fallback if a model is unavailable. All three new models accept image input and work across every creation tool. Sonnet and Kimi use 2 creation credits, most models use 1, and Frontier models GPT 5.6 Sol and Claude Opus 5 use 3.
- AI chat is unlimited on every paid plan across the standard model roster; weekly weighted credits meter heavier creation jobs (videos, podcasts, research reports), not chat messages.
