AI-powered research tool for summarizing articles, translating text, and extracting insights from PDFs with cited answers grounded in scientific literature.

What it is

ReadCube's AI Assistant helps researchers work with scholarly literature more efficiently. It lets you ask questions of and interact with research in your ReadCube libraries to summarize articles, translate them into different languages, and simplify complex terminology without disrupting your workflow.

The tool is designed to cut through information overload by providing cited answers grounded in scientific literature from your library, Dimensions, patent repositories, and other credible sources. Every answer links back to exactly where it came from, allowing you to verify the source before sharing or acting on it.

Key capabilities include asking research questions in plain language to surface relevant evidence from your library and scientific databases, turning questions into precise search queries, and discovering patterns and insights across multiple articles. The AI Assistant is available across ReadCube's plans with varying levels of functionality, from basic PDF chat to library-wide analysis.
