Every tool here is a purpose-built AI agent
Scholarly doesn't just call a model once. Each feature is run by an autonomous AI agent that reads your material, reasons across multiple models, and can research the web and run code — then hands back a finished, cited artifact.
Multiple models
Agents route each step to the model that does it best, instead of relying on a single one.
Live web research
When your sources aren't enough, agents search the web and cite what they find.
Runs code in a sandbox
Each agent gets its own sandbox to compute, transform data, and build your artifact.
Grounded in your sources
Every output is built from the PDFs, notes, and lectures you upload — not guesswork.

Exam Prep FAQs
How far in advance should I start using AI for exam prep?
Ideally 3-4 weeks before the exam. This gives you time to: generate materials (week 3-4), build understanding (week 2-3), practice with tests (week 1-2), and drill weak areas (final week). However, even starting 1 week out can significantly help!
Can AI really help me prepare for exams?
AI is most useful for active practice: turning your material into quizzes, practice tests, flashcards, and explanations. Use it alongside your professor's materials and class notes.
Is it cheating to use AI for exam prep?
No! Using AI to create study materials and practice is completely acceptable - it's no different than using a textbook, tutor, or study guide. You're still doing the learning. Just don't use AI during the actual exam (unless specifically allowed).
What if the AI generates wrong answers?
Always cross-reference important information with your textbook or professor's materials. Use AI as a supplement to your studying, not the only source. If you spot an error, you can edit or delete that card/question.
Does Scholarly work for group study sessions?
Yes! You can share flashcard sets and quizzes with study groups. Everyone can practice together, compare progress, and use AI Chat to resolve disagreements about concepts.
