About
SciSpace is an AI research assistant that helps you read, understand, and discover scientific papers — explaining jargon, answering questions about methodology, and finding related work.
In-Depth Review
**SciSpace** (formerly Typeset) is purpose-built for academic research. Its core product is an AI layer that sits on top of scientific papers, letting you ask questions about what you're reading without leaving the page.
Open any paper in SciSpace and you can highlight any passage — a confusing method, an unfamiliar term, a statistical claim — and ask the AI to explain it. The AI has read the paper and answers in context, not generically. This is dramatically faster than googling jargon mid-read.
**What SciSpace Does Best**
The AI reading assistant is the flagship feature. But SciSpace also offers a literature search engine across 270+ million papers, a citation tool that formats references in any style, and a Copilot feature that lets you ask questions about a paper's conclusions before you've even opened it.
For researchers comparing multiple papers, the new table extraction tool can pull structured data from figures and tables across papers for comparison — a task that normally takes hours.
**Pricing**
Free plan includes 5 AI questions per day. Pro at 2/month gives unlimited questions, priority processing, and access to the full paper library. Students can get 40% off with an .edu email.
**Who Should Use SciSpace?**
Graduate students, academic researchers, and anyone who regularly reads technical papers will save significant time. It's particularly useful for researchers entering a new field who need to quickly get up to speed on vocabulary and methodology. Journalists and policy analysts who need to understand scientific literature without a PhD will also benefit.
