Academia Co-Scientist

AI research assistant for Academia.edu. Chat side panel that reads and discusses web pages and your research.

Academia Co-scientist is an AI research assistant that works alongside you as you browse, allowing you to ask questions in the context of your work and create custom tools tailored for your unique workflow. Open the side panel on any web page, academic paper, or Google Doc to start a conversation with your personal research assistant and discuss. With the Co-scientist extension, you can: • Easily access the tools you create. The side panel follows you as you browse, ready whenever you need it. • Summarize articles, extract key findings, and ask questions about what you are reading. Co-scientist reads the pages you're viewing, even those behind logins or paywalls. • Work in Google Docs and Slides. Discuss drafts, get help writing and editing your work. • Get better tool and paper recommendations. Co-scientist tracks the pages you visit to build awareness of your research interests, so its suggestions stay relevant to your work. Why install it: Save hours of reading and synthesis. Instead of switching between papers, notes, and search tabs, ask Co-scientist to summarize what you're reading, compare findings across sources, or draft sections based on your research. It works on the pages you're already visiting—no copy-pasting into a separate tool. Requires a free Academia.edu account.
