Use cases

How Professionals Use Scholarly

Get through dense documents fast

Upload industry reports, technical docs, or compliance material and ask questions. Answers are grounded in the document and cite where they came from.

Never lose a meeting again

Record meetings, trainings, and webinars or upload the audio. Get a transcript, AI notes, and a five-minute recap you can actually act on.

Turn reading time into commute time

Convert reports and briefings into conversational podcasts — get through the backlog while you drive, train, or walk.

Pass certifications and licenses

Studying for a cert alongside a full-time job? Turn the official material into practice tests, flashcards, and a study schedule that fits your week.

Features

Features That Matter at Work

Grounded document chat

Ask questions across one document or your whole library — answers cite the source passage so you can verify before you act.

AI slides from documents

Turn a report or proposal into a clean, editable slide deck — a presentable starting point in minutes instead of an evening.

Deep Research

Get up to speed on a market, technology, or regulation with a structured, cited write-up — then drill into what matters.

Practice tests & flashcards

For certifications and licenses: generate practice exams and flashcards from the actual study material, not generic question banks.

How it works

How It Works

Updated August 2026

Bring reports, technical docs, slide decks, meeting recordings, and links into one workspace and get cited answers, summaries, and recaps — then turn them into slides, notes, podcasts, practice tests, or a video explainer. Start free with one lifetime upload (8 MB, first 32 PDF pages) and one lifetime AI Creation Credit; paid plans lift those limits, from Premium at $30 per month to Laureate at $99 per month. Working with colleagues? Scholarly Teams gives every seat Premium ($35 per seat/month) or Laureate ($110 per seat/month) with shared libraries and one bill.

  1. 01

    Upload your material

    Reports, PDFs, slide decks, recordings, links — everything for the project in one workspace.

  2. 02

    Ask and understand

    Chat with your documents, get summaries and recaps, and verify answers against the cited source.

  3. 03

    Put it to work

    Turn understanding into slides, notes, podcasts, or practice tests — whatever the week demands.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Scholarly for certification prep?

Yes. Upload the official study guides or course material and Scholarly generates practice tests, flashcards, and summaries from it — so you're studying the actual syllabus, not generic questions. A study schedule keeps prep on track around a full-time job.

Does it handle long technical documents?

Yes. Scholarly is built for long material — 300-page specs, regulatory texts, and full training manuals. Ask questions in plain language and get answers that cite the exact section, so you can verify in context.

Can it turn meetings into notes?

Yes. Record directly or upload audio from meetings, trainings, and webinars. You get a transcript, structured AI notes, and a short recap — and you can ask follow-up questions about anything that was said.

Is my work material private?

Your uploads are private to your account and are not shared with other users. You control your library and can delete your materials at any time.

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 a meeting and saving its transcript never uses AI Creation Credits. On paid plans, Generate notes uses 1 credit per meeting, whatever its length; Free includes notes for its one saved meeting.

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.
