Use cases

How Businesses Use Scholarly

Onboard new hires faster

Turn your handbook, process docs, and onboarding PDFs into training decks, podcasts, and knowledge checks new hires can actually work through — so day one to fully ramped is shorter, and nothing important gets skipped.

Train employees on roles and products

Drop in product specs, playbooks, and internal decks, then generate role-specific training slides, quizzes, and study guides that test real understanding of how the work is done — not memorization of trivia.

Capture meetings and calls

Record team meetings, trainings, and calls, or upload the audio. Get accurate transcripts and structured, searchable AI Meeting Notes the whole team can review and search later — decisions and action items, not a wall of text.

Make long internal docs digestible

Feed in dense compliance, process, and policy PDFs and get clear summaries, study guides, and cited answers your team can trust — so people actually absorb the material instead of skimming a 60-page file.

Features

Built for Training, Onboarding & L&D

Onboarding & training decks

Turn internal docs into AI-generated slides your team can present or self-serve — a structured path through your own material, ready in minutes instead of days.

AI video lectures & training podcasts

Turn dense onboarding and process docs into narrated AI video lectures or conversational podcasts — a second explanation of hard material employees can review on the commute.

Grounded, cited answers

Ask questions across one document or your whole knowledge base — every answer cites the source passage, so employees verify against your real material before they rely on it.

Quizzes, knowledge checks & study guides

Generate assessments straight from your training material — grounded in how your company actually works, so learning reinforces understanding, not rote recall.

Scholarly Teams

Give Your Whole Team the Tools

Scholarly Teams puts your company or department on one Premium or Laureate plan. The chosen access turns on for every member the moment they accept their invite — no per-person paywalls, no upgrade prompts, one central bill.

  • The chosen Premium or Laureate plan for every member
  • Give every member the models and creation allowance of the plan you chose — Premium for Teams or Laureate for Teams
  • Track activity and adoption without a separate team credit balance
  • Shared source libraries so your team works from the same onboarding and training material
  • Admin controls: invite by email or link, Member and Admin roles, team-wide model access
  • One central Stripe bill — start with 1 seat, self-serve up to 29

Self-serve up to 29 seats. For more seats, a whole company, or invoicing, email hello@scholarly.so.

How it works

How It Works

Updated August 2026

Bring your handbooks, SOPs, product docs, recorded trainings, meeting audio, slides, and links into one workspace; Scholarly answers with citations and generates onboarding decks, training podcasts, quizzes, study guides, AI video lectures, and searchable meeting notes from those sources. Anyone can start free with one lifetime upload and one lifetime AI creation. A Scholarly Teams plan — Premium for Teams at $35 per seat/month or Laureate for Teams at $110 per seat/month — gives every member the same access, shared libraries, admin roles, and one central bill.

  3. 03

    Turn it into training output

    Generate onboarding decks, training podcasts, quizzes, study guides, AI video lectures, and searchable meeting notes — all from your company's own sources.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a general AI chatbot?

Scholarly is source-grounded: it answers from the docs, recordings, and material your team uploads, and cites the exact passage every time. Employees can verify each answer against your real material instead of trusting a generic model that may invent facts about how your company works.

Can I put my whole company or department on one plan?

Yes. Scholarly Teams puts a company, department, or team on one Premium or Laureate plan. Every member inherits the chosen plan when they accept their invite, with shared source libraries, admin controls, and one central bill. Start with 1 seat and self-serve up to 29; for larger companies or invoicing, email hello@scholarly.so.

Is this an engagement or streak app for employees?

No. Scholarly is a set of genuinely useful tools on your company's real material — not a streak, gamification, or notification app. The goal is understanding: employees learn how the work is actually done from your own docs, not by chasing points.

What AI models do Teams get?

Premium for Teams includes Premium models; Laureate for Teams adds the Frontier models by name. Admins choose which included tiers members can use, and a stronger personal plan still wins.

Is our internal material private?

Your uploads are private to your account and are not shared with other users. On a team, members work from shared libraries you control, and you can delete materials at any time.
