Scholarcy is an AI-based summarization platform designed to help researchers, students, and academics process large volumes of scholarly literature more efficiently. It automatically reads research papers, journal articles, reports, and book chapters, then distills them into structured summary flashcards that highlight key concepts, findings, limitations, and study participants. The tool extracts figures, tables, and references, and can reconstruct reference lists with links to open-access versions. Scholarcy offers a browser extension for on-the-fly summarization and a web-based Library for organizing and managing summaries. It integrates with reference management tools such as Zotero and Mendeley, and supports export to tools like Notion and Roam Research. The platform is aimed at reducing the time spent on initial literature screening and helping users quickly assess the relevance of a paper before reading it in full.
