SciSpace Copilot
SciSpace Copilot explains, summarizes, and answers questions about research papers and web content, now presented as Chat with PDF.
SciSpace Copilot helps students, researchers, and other readers understand scientific literature. Users can upload PDFs, highlight text, ask questions, generate section summaries, follow citation links, and get explanations of equations, tables, and technical language.
