Looking up citations on your phone during a conference presentation? You'll need something faster than scrolling through databases. ScholarAI searches millions of peer-reviewed papers and handles citations automatically — beats hunting through Google Scholar while someone's waiting for your answer.

The AI chat assistant breaks down complex research papers into digestible summaries. Upload a PDF. Get explanations without reading every page. Graduate students writing literature reviews can pull sources from their uploaded collections and generate properly cited content in over 2,600 citation styles. Manual formatting? Gone.

Credits run out faster than you'd expect.

ScholarAI now works inside Jenni's writing platform, so you can draft and cite without switching between tools. Import your entire Zotero library with one click. The basic plan gives you 50 credits monthly for $9.99, while premium removes limits entirely. Free users get 5 credits to test it out.

A postdoc preparing grant proposals can upload relevant papers, ask the AI to summarize key findings, then generate source-based content for their background section. ScholarAI pulls from uploaded documents and maintains proper attribution throughout. Fortune 100 researchers and academics at top institutions rely on this workflow because it's considerably faster than traditional research methods. Teams can share data and collaborate in dedicated spaces, though pricing varies based on usage.

Frequently asked

7 questions
How many papers can ScholarAI actually search through?
ScholarAI searches millions of peer-reviewed papers -- though they don't specify the exact database size. It's way faster than manually digging through Google Scholar or those traditional academic databases. The system pulls from documents you upload plus its broader research database.
What happens when I run out of credits on ScholarAI?
You'll need to upgrade or wait for your monthly reset. Free users only get 5 credits to test things out. The basic plan gives you 50 credits monthly for $9.99, but credits can disappear faster than you'd expect if you're doing heavy research.
Can I import my existing Zotero library into ScholarAI?
Yes, you can import your entire Zotero library with one click. Makes it super easy to work with sources you've already collected. The integration works within Jenni's writing platform -- so you can draft and cite without switching tools.
How accurate are the citation formats that ScholarAI generates?
ScholarAI supports over 2,600 different citation styles and handles formatting automatically. It maintains proper attribution when generating content from your uploaded papers. This eliminates the manual formatting work that usually takes hours (thank goodness).
Does ScholarAI work with PDFs I upload or just its database?
It works with both. You can upload your own PDF research papers and ask the AI to summarize or explain them. ScholarAI also pulls from its broader database of millions of papers when you need additional sources.
What's the difference between using ScholarAI basic versus premium?
Premium removes all credit limits. Basic gives you 50 credits monthly for $9.99. If you're doing heavy research -- like grant proposals or extensive literature reviews -- you'll likely need premium since credits run out quickly on the basic plan.
Can research teams collaborate using ScholarAI?
Yes, teams can share data and work together in dedicated spaces. This is useful for research groups working on joint projects or grant applications. However, pricing for team features varies based on usage -- so you'll need to check current rates.
