Use cases

How Consultants Use Scholarly

Ramp on a new industry in days

Run Deep Research on the market, then load the key reports and question them directly. Walk into the kickoff already conversant, with sources to back you up.

Question the client's documents

Upload data-room PDFs, prior decks, and internal docs. Ask what you need — answers cite the page they came from, so your findings are defensible.

Turn findings into slides

Generate a clean, structured deck from your documents and notes — a starting point for the storyline instead of a blank template.

Use the travel time

Convert industry reports and briefings into podcasts and audio overviews — get through the reading list on flights and between client sites.

Features

Features That Matter for Client Work

Deep Research

A structured, cited brief on any market, company, or technology in minutes — then drill into the parts that matter for the engagement.

Citation-backed answers

Every answer from your documents points at the source page. Verify before it goes in the deck — no unsourced claims in front of a client.

Workshops & calls to notes

Record workshops and expert calls or upload the audio. Get transcripts, structured notes, and a recap you can query afterward.

Concept maps of a new domain

Map how an unfamiliar industry fits together — players, drivers, dependencies — from the material you loaded, not generic knowledge.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get up to speed on a new industry?

Run Deep Research for a cited overview in minutes, then upload the key reports and question them directly. Most consultants use the combination to be genuinely conversant before the kickoff — with sources they can point to for every claim.

Is client material kept private?

Your uploads are private to your account and are not shared with other users. You control your library and can delete materials at any time. For engagement-specific confidentiality obligations, apply your firm's own policies on cloud tools.

Can it really make slides from my documents?

Yes. Scholarly generates a structured PDF deck from your documents and notes — sections, takeaways, and supporting points. It's a working first draft of the storyline, not a finished client deliverable; to change the structure, regenerate with custom instructions.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers from general knowledge. Scholarly answers from the engagement's actual material — the data room, the reports, the call recordings — with citations pointing back to the page, in a persistent workspace you build up over the project.

Your questions, answered

Is Scholarly free to use?

Yes! The free plan includes core study tools with lifetime allowances: 3 AI Chat messages, 500 autocomplete words, 5 quiz questions, 15 voice minutes, 1 practice exam, one free AI Creation Credit total, and 1 file upload. These allowances do not reset. Upgrade to Premium for 10 AI Creation Credits per week and unlimited uploads.

What uses my free AI Creation Credits?

AI Creation Credits are shared across flashcards, podcasts, videos, slides, AI Documents, Deep Research, and the Transcribe tool. The selected model determines the credit cost. Recording live audio and saving its transcript uses your file upload allowance instead; it does not use AI Creation Credits.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings, and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. Pricing is displayed in USD by default, but local currency is available in the app.

Can I use Scholarly with a class or school?

Yes. For a school or organization-wide rollout, contact us at hello@scholarly.so and we'll help you find the right setup.

What happens when I hit a free plan limit?

You'll see a prompt to upgrade. Your existing work is never lost — limits only apply to new actions. Free-plan allowances are lifetime credits and do not reset. Premium includes 10 AI Creation Credits per week, podcasts up to 60 minutes, video lectures up to 45 minutes, unlimited uploads, chat, autocomplete, quizzes, and exams, plus more daily voice time.
