Test Verdict
4.5 / 5.0

Genei is an AI-powered research tool that uses a custom summarisation algorithm to condense articles, PDFs and webpages and pull out the information that matters. A Y Combinator Summer 2021 graduate and Oxford University All Innovate 2020 prize winner, it was built to help students and professionals cut the time they spend reading and organizing sources.

Inside project-based workspaces you can upload documents or save webpages with the Chrome extension, then generate AI summaries, keywords, and answers to questions across one or many documents. Cloud notes, annotations, extracted graphs, figures and tables, reference management and export keep your findings together, while the Pro tier adds advanced GPT-3 based summaries and expand, paraphrase and rephrase tools.

Genei is aimed at students, academics, analysts and writers working through literature reviews, dissertations, industry research and long reports who want a structured way to read less and find more.
