Review Scispace?

Scispace earns strong praise from students and researchers for speeding up literature reviews, clarifying dense text, and enabling intuitive Q&A. Users highlight time saved on thesis work and better discovery without perfect keywords. Common kudos: clear explanations of equations/tables, helpful follow-up prompts, and multilingual support. Critiques focus on limited free credits, occasional misinterpretation of niche terms, and intermittent agent pauses; smoother Zotero sync and stronger data extraction are requested. Alternatives often considered alongside it include makers of Elicit and Explainpaper, whose feedback emphasizes approachable summaries and discovery.

The Agent asked me some further questions based on my research topic. That's a great process to check if Agent understands the task clearly before it starts work. But something went wrong after I answered questions and started making todo list. The agent paused during deep searching.

Thanks for letting us know about it. We're currently seeing higher-than-expected usage, which may be causing occasional pauses like the one you encountered during deep search. We're actively working on stabilizing performance and scaling up. In the meantime, feel free to try again shortly — it should work more smoothly soon. Appreciate your patience!

Started using Typeset around 5 years ago for formatting my research papers . The tool definitely helped me publish 2 journal publications. Currently using AI Literature review day in day out for all my research work. Highly recommended.

Seems like a great tool to utilize for my workflows. I'm an IT Specialist and am always looking for new ways to optimize my workflow. Only thing that frankly was quite annoying was the fact that I inputted one prompr and ran out of credits before the output was completed. Engineers/Developers, please at least allow enough credits for one to run it a few times no matter how large the output would be. And, mine wasn't that large at all.
