Best Use Cases
Ehsan's Growth Take
Paper Digest's conference digest feature fills a real gap — knowing what happened at NeurIPS or AAAI without reading 500 papers is genuinely valuable. The per-paper summaries are mediocre compared to Elicit or Scholarcy. Use it for conference tracking; use something else for serious literature review.
