That last phrase is the important one, because a product aimed at both is shaped by both. WeSolve+ is aimed at one, and the tool below is the free end of it.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
The smallest possible workspace
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This tool uses text rules, not AI. It counts how often each content word appears, scores every sentence by the words it carries, divides that score by the square root of the sentence length so long sentences do not win automatically, and keeps roughly one sentence in five in the original order. There is no account, no library and nothing to organise. Your text stays in the browser and is never sent anywhere.
| Question | Scholarly | WeSolve+ |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Workspace with many tools | One loop, few outputs |
| Who it is for | Students and professionals | Students revising for a date |
| Video from your sources | Yes | No, audio recap only |
| Teams | Yes | No |
| Keeps a library of sources | Yes | No |
| Returns what you missed | Through its review tools | Yes, on later days |
What a workspace is actually for
Holding many things about one subject in a single place, over a long stretch, while several people touch them. That is genuinely valuable and it is what shared software exists to do. Scholarly's own page offers team plans and speaks to professionals alongside students, which tells you which problem the shape was designed around.
The narrated video output, taken seriously
Turning a source into a narrated visual explanation with animations and charts is a real piece of engineering and closer to an explainer video than to anything a study app normally makes. Where it earns its place is a concept you cannot picture: a mechanism, a cycle, a process with moving parts. Animation is strongest exactly where a static page is weakest.
Organising is not studying, and it feels identical
Sorting sources, naming folders and arranging a workspace produces a clear sense of progress and leaves no trace in memory. It is the most comfortable way to spend two hours on a subject without once being wrong about it. The measure that separates the two is blunt: at the end of a session, count how many times you had to produce an answer before seeing it. Organising scores zero every time.
A studying week is small and repetitive
It is a short loop run often, on the same handful of things you keep failing, in the last three weeks before a date. That shape does not benefit from a wider surface; it benefits from a narrower one you can face on a tired Tuesday. Breadth costs a decision every session, and a decision made twenty times is where consistency quietly dies. Deciding less is the point.
What WeSolve+ deliberately does not have
No library, no folders, no team plans, no video generation and no research assistant. It reads the file you give it, returns explained questions, a deck and a short spoken recap, and brings back what you missed. That is a smaller product on purpose, and for a long research project a workspace is the better answer. Free to start on web and iPhone, counted by file: pricing, features.
Which one your month actually needs
If the deadline is a dissertation, a report or anything where sources accumulate for months and other people read them, take the workspace. If the deadline is an exam, take whatever you will still open when you are tired, and make sure it asks you questions rather than showing you material. The two are different jobs wearing similar words. See active recall.

Is Scholarly good for exam revision?
It contains tools that work for it, including decks with scheduled review. The question is whether a wide workspace is what you will open on a tired evening three weeks before the date.
Is a generated video worth watching?
For a mechanism or a process with moving parts, yes, because animation shows what a static page cannot. For memorising a list it is the slowest option available.
Does WeSolve+ make videos?
No. It produces explained questions, a deck and a short spoken recap. There is no video generation and no plan to imply otherwise.
Why would a smaller tool be better?
Because a study week is a short loop repeated often, and every extra choice is one more chance to not start. Fewer options is a feature when the enemy is a tired Tuesday.
Which should a research student use?
A workspace, almost certainly. Sources accumulating over months, with other people reading them, is exactly the job that shape was built for and the job a study app is not.
How do I tell organising from studying?
Count how many times in a session you had to produce an answer before seeing it. Organising scores zero, and it feels like progress the entire time.
