Privacy & Security

Your research stays yours

We are a subscription business. We make money when you pay for a plan, not by selling your data or mining your research.

Workspace-scoped access

Your research is scoped to your workspace. Only you and the colleagues you explicitly invite can see it. No one outside your team can access your data.

Private to your account

Your documents are only accessible to people you explicitly invite. Nothing is visible to others unless you share it.

Never used to train AI

We do not use your documents to train AI models, ours or anyone else's. What you upload informs only your own work.

Automatic backups

Your data is backed up regularly. If something fails on our end, your work is recoverable.

Early Access

What researchers tell us

I was spending two or three hours a week just tracking down papers I had already read. Alfred changed that. I ask a question, it finds the answer and tells me exactly where in the paper it came from.

SK
Sarah K.
PhD Candidate · Computational Biology

The BibTeX export handles edge cases that every other tool gets wrong. My submission actually went in on time for once.

MT
Marcus T.
Postdoctoral Researcher · Molecular Genetics

Our whole lab shares the same paper library now. No more "did you read the Chen et al. paper" in Slack. Everyone just asks Alfred.

PN
Dr. Priya N.
Assistant Professor · Cognitive Neuroscience

Common questions

Alfred Scholar is a research platform that lets you upload papers, ask questions about your documents, manage citations, and write manuscripts - all in one workspace. It uses AI to help you find information across your library faster.
Yes, during early access. You get credits when you sign up, and AI features like document chat and plagiarism checking use those credits. No credit card is needed to get started.
Upload a research paper and ask questions in plain English. Alfred searches your document and gives you answers with references to the exact sections where the information was found. It does not guess - if the answer is not in the paper, it says so.
PDF files are supported right now. We extract text, metadata, and references automatically. DOCX and LaTeX support is on our roadmap.
Your research is scoped to your workspace - only you and the colleagues you invite can access it. We never share your data with third parties or use it to train AI models. We are a subscription business, so we have no incentive to mine your research.
