Overview
People who know a topic well gather real scientific studies into a project. Grok writes a summary of each study that someone with a high-school education can understand, plus keywords and flags. Anyone can read the finished collection for free — no account needed.

Browse studies, browse by keyword, read Q&A built from approved papers, play a crossword puzzle, based on a selected project, while you're waiting for Grok to summarize the studies. The public only sees studies that have been approved. No log in is required. The public can read any approved project's approved (by that project's project admin or approver role user) studies.
The Project admin performs all the administration for the project including adding and approving a project, adding users, defining their roles, adding search terms for the project, and is able to search databases (PubMed, PLOS, OpenAlex, EuropePMC, bioRxiv, the Biodiversity Heritage Library, and YouTube) for studies (or videos). They also add Questions which Grok will answer in the form of a brief, viewable by the public in Questions in navbar. A SHOP button will be displayed when affiliate link(s) are added in Manage Projects. This SHOP button is then displayed in all pages.
The Curator can search for new studies (ones they haven't seen before) from various databases and select the ones they want to add to their project based on customizable search terms. The selected studies are then summarized (both professional and high school level education), keywords are generated and flags for each study (default and customizable) are applied by Grok.
The Approver can do everything the Curator can do but in addition can view the summarized studies and Approves the ones they want to share with the public and which should be deleted.
Browsing studies is free. You only pay when this site calls Grok. A project_admin can see that usage on the Grok Usage screen. Packs are bought with Stripe.
Auto-Fetch can run by hand (including a dry run) or on a schedule. When it calls Grok, that usage shows on the same Grok Usage screen.
