SciSummary

SciSummary cuts long papers down to readable summaries. It is an AI research paper summarizer that takes scientific articles and PDFs and returns short overviews you can scan before deciding what to read in full.

Documents can run up to 200,000 words, and SciSummary also analyzes figures and tables, lets you chat with a paper, and searches articles.

You can import a paper's references and summarize them with one click, which helps when you are tracing a topic through its citations.

There are three plans.

A free trial lasts 7 days and covers 30,000 words summarized, 5 figure or table analyses and 100 chat messages.

A student offer gives the first month at $0 with unlimited summaries, using the code STUDENT24.

The paid plan costs $6.99 a month or $34.99 a year and removes the caps, adding unlimited bulk summaries and 1,000 documents indexed for semantic search.

The trial limits are tight, so test it on a real reading list.
