Enago Read

Enago Read is an AI research assistant for literature review, combining paper summaries, key insights, related-paper discovery from a 200 million plus document database, and a real-time copilot for asking questions about the literature you are reading.

Enago Read (formerly RAxter) is a research workspace built around a single promise: get through the literature faster without losing depth. The site positions it as an AI-powered assistant for literature review, and the feature set matches that framing. Papers are condensed into high-impact summaries so you can triage a reading list before committing hours to it, while a key insights layer pulls out the core ideas of a paper that would otherwise take a careful second pass to surface. The discovery side runs on a database the site describes as 200 million plus documents, drawn from repositories including PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, CORE, DOAJ, PubMed Central and patent offices such as EPO and USPTO. From any paper you are reading, the related-papers feature suggests connected literature instead of leaving you to guess at the next search string. A real-time AI copilot sits on top of all this: you ask questions about the paper in front of you and get answers aimed at making dense studies legible. The combination means a research session stays in one place rather than spreading across a reference manager, a search engine and a pile of PDFs. Enago Read is aimed squarely at academic researchers, though the split matters. Graduate students starting a literature review get the clearest benefit, since summaries and recommendations lower the cost of learning what a field looks like. PhD candidates and faculty working on longer projects get more from the organisation features: distraction-free reading, highlights, notes, quick reference access and the critique templates mentioned in user testimonials. The site reports use by researchers at more than 400 universities, which is a fair signal of the intended audience. Where it fits is the crowded space between reference managers and general-purpose chat assistants. Reference managers store and cite; Enago Read adds a reading and comprehension layer above the library, plus discovery from repository data rather than a general web index. The privacy stance is explicit: everything added or created is private by default, and the site names MD5 encryption, SSL and HTTPS for data security.
