01
Seed the record
Begin with the work that is already yours: Google Scholar or ORCID, then a BibTeX or CSV file.
A personal writing memory for scholars
Your work has a throughline.
Keep it close.
ScholarSecondBrain is an early, private workspace for the scholarship you have published, the material still taking shape, and the questions that connect them.
Early pilot. No checkout or account signup is live yet.
A better starting point than a blank page
Bring the record forward.
Then make it useful.
02
Backfill what matters
Add the drafts, notes, transcripts, and missing full texts that only you can supply.
03
Ask with sources
Use cited chat only over material you have admitted into your private Markdown catalog.
Published Work and Working Material remain distinct. The published bar is not a suggestion.
A private place to think
Not another public profile.
Not a paper generator.
Private by default. Full texts and Working Material stay private unless you choose otherwise.
Grounded on purpose. Cited chat draws from admitted material, with source cards back to your own corpus.
Your work stays yours. Private catalog content is not training fuel for public foundation models without a separate explicit opt-in.
Exit is real. Markdown export and deletion are part of the product plan, not footer fiction.
Planned personal pricing
Room for a lifetime of work.
These are proposed monthly prices for the early personal product. Every plan is planned to include a 14-day trial. Billing is not live.

Later, by choice
A public folio can follow.
Your private archive comes first.
When it is ready, you will be able to make selected published work discoverable. A published citation card is not the same thing as a public full text.
