Podcasts Beta is now live on Scholarly! You can create podcasts from PDFs, Videos, & Research. It's seamless and quite amazing! 😍

Scholarly's AI Podcasts have been improving every day! We're still working hard on making it truly wonderful, but it's a great start!

well, there's also those that use AI to help them. @usescholarly sees a 10-30% increase in test scores when ppl use the ai tools. (do keep in mind that usually it's the best students using these tools so it's really hard to go from 90 to 95%)

allows for more agentic workflows, like this 👇 "graph 1/x, 2/x, sin(2x) and finally cos(4x) all in diff graphs. for the cos(4x), create a csv for me." 🖋️

Scholarly now uses GPT-5 natively! 🥳 It's already enabled by default. GPT-5 is a step increase in terms of performance. We've heavily modified all our existing AI features to account for GPT-5's strengths.

Try it out now scholarly.so!

released some pretty big features on @usescholarly today. - Google Drive & Calendar connections (beta) - Quiz stats/metrics - Session feedback These are still quite nascent and will need some more updates to be truly perfect but it’s a good start.

Soon you'll be able to connect your Google Drive, Calendar, and other apps. Our goal is to have seamless external integration for all our features.

We've pushed out an update to the personality of our chat. It's much more warm, engaging, and generally less wordy and verbose. So far you guys love it!

We're finally adding Fill in the Blank questions to quiz mode! We've actually been working on this for the past year but never fully released it, until now! This will be released to all users later this week! 😋😍😍

Research just got a major upgrade on Scholarly. • Cleaner UI • Mini chat for clarifying prompts • Timeline view • Report history • Image support (!) Research V2 (Beta) is faster, clearer, and way more powerful. 🚀

We're going to slowly move towards a unified experience that combines all of our great features. The work has already begun, and later on we'll introduce whiteboards, improved graphs, and much more. 🥳

This decision aligns with global trends like the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), further reinforcing the shift towards greater app market freedom. Dive deeper into the full context, implications, and what this means for developers and users here:scholarly.so/research/6813ae… 📖✨

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney proposes a "Global Peace Deal": If Apple expands these payment freedoms worldwide, Epic will end litigation globally and reinstate all its games everywhere.

This ruling reshapes the entire app ecosystem: Developers gain more freedom and better revenue options. Consumers could see lower prices as developers bypass the "Apple Tax." Opens the door for more apps to return or debut on iOS.

Apple is complying but appealing: Apple revised App Store guidelines following the court order. Fortnite’s new build passed review, featuring direct payment links and lower pricing outside Apple's system.

The April 30, 2025 ruling is pivotal: ✅ Developers can now link external payments WITHOUT Apple’s commission. ✅ Apple can’t penalize or restrict these external transactions. ✅ Fortnite returns, complete with external purchasing options.

Quick recap: 🔹 Aug 2020: Apple removes Fortnite over payment disputes. 🔹 Sept 2021: Court allows external payment links, but Fortnite remains off iOS. 🔹 Apr 2025: Apple found in “willful violation” of previous court orders. 🔹 May 2025: Fortnite reinstated under new App Store rules.
