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, editable deck from your documents and notes — a structured 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, editable deck from your documents and notes — sections, takeaways, and supporting points. It's a working first draft of the storyline that you refine, not a finished client deliverable.

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 AI Meeting Notes — with citations pointing back to the page, in a persistent workspace you build up over the project.
