Use case · Literature review
From 200 open tabs to a written review.
The review is where most projects stall: too many papers, no shape, and a citation manager that lives in a different app than your draft. Folio takes you from first search to cited paragraph without leaving one workspace.
Find
Every paper, one search
Search Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and CrossRef at once, then follow the citation graph backward and forward to the work you’d have missed. Save what matters to a library that keeps the PDF, the metadata, and your notes together.

Synthesize
See the landscape at a glance
Folio builds a synthesis matrix across your saved papers, so themes, methods, and gaps line up in a grid instead of hiding in forty open tabs. The shape of the field, and the hole your work fills, become obvious.
Write
A cited draft, not a hallucinated one
Draft with AI that answers only from the papers you actually saved, so every claim traces to a real source and no reference is invented. Cite as you write, in the style your journal or committee expects.
