AI tools for researchers and students. Use AI to summarize and understand scientific articles and research papers. An AI Powered reference and document manager.

Over 900,000 users have summarized more than 2,200,000 papers since March 2023. SciSummary was created to solve a problem ChatGPT doesn't: helping people actually understand research papers.

SciSummary is built specifically for academic work—it extracts abstracts, figures, and references, and highlights key findings in a way that matches how researchers read.

    heyo! Explainpaper lets you upload a research paper PDF. If you don't understand a formula or sentence, just highlight it and the tool explains it for you I built this a few weeks ago to help me read a neuroscience paper, and it works pretty well! I didn't fine-tune GPT-3, but I do take a lot of context from the paper and feed that into the prompt (not the whole paper). Ppl have uploaded AI, biology, economics, philosophy papers and even law documents. Works in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French and more as well!
