SciSpace Copilot Brief Overview
SciSpace Copilot is an AI-powered research platform designed to help students, academics, and knowledge workers find, read, understand, and work with scientific literature faster. Instead of manually skimming long PDFs, jumping between tabs, and keeping separate notes and citation files, SciSpace brings common research workflows into one place—paper discovery, “chat with PDF,” literature review organization, and writing support.
At a high level, SciSpace focuses on two big problems: (1) understanding dense academic content (including equations, tables, and technical sections), and (2) turning that understanding into useful outputs such as notes, summaries, structured literature review tables, and draft text you can refine for your own writing.
Simple How-to-Use
- Create an account and start with the free plan if you want to try the core experience first.
- Choose your workflow based on what you’re doing:
- If you already have a paper: open Chat with PDF and upload your PDF.
- If you’re exploring a topic: go to Literature Review and search a keyword/question.
- Ask questions while you read, such as:
- “Summarize the abstract in simple terms.”
- “What is the main contribution and why does it matter?”
- “Explain the results table like I’m new to this topic.”
- Capture what matters by saving insights, generating summaries, or building a comparison table of papers.
- Export your work (when your plan allows it) for use in reference managers, spreadsheets, or writing workflows.
SciSpace Copilot Key Features and Functions
- Chat with PDF (Copilot-style reading): Upload and interact with PDFs through Q&A, summaries, and explanations that help decode complex passages.
- Citation-backed answers (document-grounded): When discussing a specific PDF, SciSpace can provide answers tied to the document context to support traceability while reading.
- Literature Review workspace: Search across a large research corpus, review quick “what top papers say” insights, filter/sort results, customize columns for comparison, save searches, and export tables.
- AI research agent approach: Prompts and task flows for common research actions like reviewing literature, extracting data, drafting content, and creating structured outputs.
- Writing utilities: Tools such as an AI Writer, paraphrasing, citation generation, and related research helpers aimed at turning reading into usable notes and drafts.
- Exports and sharing (plan-dependent): Options may include exporting in formats like CSV and common citation/reference formats.
