From source to timeline in three steps
No formatting, no dragging boxes around. Add your material and the AI does the ordering.
Add your sources
Upload PDFs, slides, or docs, pick a file from your library, paste a link, or just type a topic.
The agent reads and orders it
Scholarly finds every dated or sequential event in your material and arranges them in order with context.
Study, download, or share
Get a clean timeline PDF you can read alongside chat, download to print, or turn into flashcards and a quiz.
A timeline that reflects your course
Grounded in your sources, built to help you understand sequence and cause — not memorize dates.
Events in true order
Dated events and process steps are arranged chronologically, so the sequence is obvious at a glance.
Built from your material
The timeline comes from the files and notes you add — not the open internet — so it matches what you're studying.
Works without dates
No calendar dates? The AI still orders events by sequence, so it works for processes and procedures too.
Polished, themed PDF
Every timeline is professionally typeset. Pick from four themes — Professional, Academic, Modern, or Playful — then download, print, or share it by link.
More study tools, one source
Turn the same material into flashcards, a quiz, a study guide, or a podcast without re-uploading.
Any subject
History units, biology processes, legal procedures, project phases — anything where order matters.
Seeing the order is half of understanding it
When events are buried in paragraphs, it's hard to see what led to what. A timeline pulls them out and lines them up so cause and effect become visible.
Scholarly's timeline is an AI agent: it reads your actual sources, identifies the events that matter, and orders them with enough context to be useful — not a bare list of dates to cram.
Because it's grounded in your own material, the timeline reflects how your class frames the story. Pair it with flashcards or a quiz and you move from recognizing the sequence to recalling it.
Common questions
What can I make a timeline from?
Uploaded PDFs, Word docs, and PowerPoints; files already in your library; Google Drive files; a website or PDF link; or just a typed prompt. You can mix several sources in one timeline.
Does it work if my source has no dates?
Yes. The AI orders events by sequence — first step, next step, and so on — even without calendar dates, which is what makes timelines work for processes and procedures as well as history.
Can I download or print my timeline?
Yes. Every timeline is a PDF you can download, print, or share with a link, and it lands in your library like any other file.
Is it free?
You can create timelines on the free plan using your shared lifetime AI creation credits, which don't reset. Paid plans raise those limits and support longer source documents.
