SciSpace

SciSpace is an AI research platform for searching papers, chatting with PDFs, running literature reviews and drafting academic writing.

SciSpace, from PubGenius, helps students, academics and R&D teams through the research process. The SciSpace Agent can search papers, run literature reviews, draft text, and create diagrams and presentations, and a Biomedical Agent serves life sciences work. Separate tools let users chat with PDFs, extract data from papers into tables, find topics, paraphrase, generate citations in many styles and check text with an AI detector. A Chrome extension explains papers while reading on the web, and there is a mobile app and an API. SciSpace says more than 9.6 million researchers use it, including teams in pharma, biotech and hospitals, with a free plan and paid and enterprise options.
