AI Research Paper Summarizer
Paste a research excerpt or upload a PDF, then ask Victoria, the SentX AI assistant, for the question, method, results and limitations. Ask follow-up questions about specific passages and compare important claims with the original source. Keep verified findings, assumptions and open questions separate. A summary can contain errors and does not replace the paper.
How it works
Three steps from a dense paper to a working understanding of it.
- 1
Paste or upload
Use a paper you are allowed to share. Upload its PDF or paste the relevant text, and name the title or version you are working from.
- 2
Get a structured summary
Ask for the research question, method, main results and stated limitations. Request the supporting passage or page for each important claim.
- 3
Check the source and follow up
Open the original paper. Match numbers to their units, population and scope, then ask about gaps or unclear passages. Keep an explicit note of anything you could not verify.
A prompt you can adapt
Summarize this paper's research question, method, results and limitations. For each main claim, identify a supporting passage or page. Separate what the authors measured from your interpretation, and flag anything you cannot verify.
Who it's for
A starting point for readers who will check the important details in the paper.
Researchers
Triage the literature fast — decide what is worth a full read and what to skip.
Students
Understand assigned papers, prep for seminars, and turn dense text into clear notes.
Writers & analysts
Pull key findings and context into briefs, reviews, and reports.
Curious readers
Make sense of a paper outside your field without wading through the jargon.
A summary is a starting point, not a citation. Always verify the key claims against the original source before you rely on them — SentX can make mistakes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to use?
Yes. You can summarize and ask questions for free, with a limited quota. SentX Plus unlocks a higher quota.
Can I upload a PDF?
Yes. Upload a paper as a PDF or paste it as text, then ask for a summary in the chat.
What does the summary include?
Ask for a short overview, the method, main results and stated limitations. Specify the sections you need and request supporting passages; the response can omit or misread details.
Is the summary accurate?
A summary can help you navigate a paper, but it can make mistakes. Check important claims against the original source.
Can I upload confidential or unpublished research?
Only share material you are allowed to submit under SentX's terms. The Privacy Policy states that submissions are not confidential and may enter training or shared memory. Use public or non-sensitive material when evaluating this workflow.
