If you want to keep up with what's going on in your field without spending hours reading wordy articles, SciSummary is a good option. This AI-powered information retrieval system uses large language models to summarize scientific papers and research articles. You can upload documents, links or PDFs and get a summary by email in a few minutes. You can upgrade to a premium subscription for bulk summaries and other features, but the idea is to make research more accessible and easier to understand.
Another tool worth checking out is Unriddle, an AI assistant designed to help you read and research documents by summarizing complex topics, pointing to related sources and generating interactive graphs. It works in more than 90 languages and can be used through a Chrome extension, which is handy for researchers who need to quickly read and extract information from lots of documents. You can try a free trial to see what it can do without committing to a subscription.
If you prefer a more conversational approach, check out ChatPDF. This AI-powered system lets you ask questions about PDFs, academic papers and other documents and get answers directly from the documents themselves. It works in multiple languages and can handle large documents, so it's good for students and researchers.
