What is genei?

genei is an AI-powered research assistant that summarises academic articles and research papers quickly. Rather than reading through lengthy documents, you can upload PDFs or provide links to articles and genei extracts the key points, findings, and methodology in seconds. The tool is designed for researchers, students, and academics who need to process large volumes of academic content efficiently. It uses machine learning to identify the most important information within research papers, helping you decide which articles are worth reading in full and which can be skimmed. The freemium model means you can try the core functionality without payment, with paid tiers unlocking higher usage limits and additional features.
