SciSummary
SciSummary uses AI to help scientists, researchers, and students understand scientific papers through summaries, analysis, and extracted insights. Summaries are organized into abstract, methods, results, and conclusion sections. It can combine multiple papers into one summary and compare them, while folders and tags organize a research library. Figure chat interprets p-values, confidence intervals, and effect sizes. The service extracts abstracts, figures, and references and highlights key findings. Its web and API access includes a bulk API accepting PDFs, links, or full text, with hundreds of documents supported in one request. A REST API includes an official CLI and generated SDK clients from its OpenAPI specification. An MCP server connects with Claude Desktop and ChatGPT. SciSummary also summarizes webpages and accepts file uploads. Pricing is paid, starting at $4/mo (annual), with a 7-day trial and no standard free plan.
