Scholarcy

Scholarcy is an AI-based research platform that ingests and condenses academic papers, articles, and videos into structured summaries. The system processes documents to create interactive flashcards, extract figures and tables, and generate bibliographies. It addresses information overload by spotlighting key findings and allowing users to adjust a summary's reading level. Integration with existing workflows is handled through browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, as well as direct library imports from reference managers like Zotero. All generated assets, including notes and annotations, can be stored in a central library. The tool is designed for academic researchers, postgraduate students, and analysts who must synthesize large volumes of technical literature. A primary use case is building a Literature Matrix to systematically compare methodologies and conclusions across multiple studies. Students can use the platform to generate flashcards from assigned readings for exam preparation. While the system accelerates initial analysis and concept discovery, its generated technical arguments and numerical claims require manual human verification for factual accuracy before being used in formal research or reporting.
