Semantic Scholar, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Semantic Scholar account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Connects with a key
- 14 ready-made tools

What Semantic Scholar is
Semantic Scholar is an AI-powered academic search engine that helps researchers discover and understand scientific literature
You paste in a key from your own Semantic Scholar account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Semantic Scholar whenever you like.
One message in, the work done in Semantic Scholar.
- 01
You ask
You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.
- 02
It works out the step
It decides what the job needs in Semantic Scholar. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.
- 03
It does the work
Signed in to your own Semantic Scholar account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.
- 04
It reports back
It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.
What it can do in Semantic Scholar
These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Semantic Scholar. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.
- Details about a paperExamples: <ul <li<codehttps://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/649def34f8be52c8b66281af98ae884c09aef38b</code</li <ul <lireturns a paper with its paperid and title. </li </ul

You stay the boss of your Semantic Scholar account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own Semantic Scholar account. You are not moving anything into ours.
- You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
- Everything it does in Semantic Scholar is written down, with what it did and when.
- Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
It works in Semantic Scholar and the rest of your software in the same job
A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
Questions people ask about Semantic Scholar
- Can an AI employee really work inside Semantic Scholar?
- Yes. It signs in to your own Semantic Scholar account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
- Do I have to move anything out of Semantic Scholar?
- No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Semantic Scholar, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
- How does it get into my Semantic Scholar account?
- You paste in a key from your own Semantic Scholar account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Semantic Scholar whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
- What can it actually do in Semantic Scholar?
- It has 14 ready-made tools in Semantic Scholar today, among them Details about a paper, Details about a paper s authors and Details about a paper s citations. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
- Can it use Semantic Scholar and the rest of my software in the same job?
- Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Semantic Scholar and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
- Who decides what it is allowed to do in Semantic Scholar?
- You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Semantic Scholar is written down with what it did and when.
