Month: March 2026

At Zendy, we know that searching for academic content can feel overwhelming. Traditional search tools often rely on precise keywords, leaving you to sift through endless lists of results on your own. That’s why we built Zendy AI Discovery, to make research smarter, faster, and more guided.

Launched in March 2026, our AI-powered discovery tool doesn’t just show you results, it understands your intent, provides context, and helps you explore topics in a structured way. Think of it as a research assistant that’s available anytime you need it.

How We Help You Discover Research

We designed Zendy AI Discovery to do more than just search. Here’s how we make your research experience better:

• Guided Exploration: We don’t just show results, we help you understand why they matter and guide you to the most relevant content.
• Context-Aware: Our AI considers the bigger picture of your topic, helping you uncover connections you might have missed.
• Time-Saving: By highlighting what’s important, we reduce the hours you spend scrolling through irrelevant articles.

Built on your Academic Sources

We know how important it is to rely on high-quality research. That’s why Zendy AI Discovery draws exclusively from your peer-reviewed and trusted sources. Unlike generic AI tools that pull from unverified sources, we make sure the information you find is reliable and trustworthy.

How We Work with Libraries

Here’s why it’s easy to integrate and use:

• Simple Setup: A few lines of script is all it takes to add us to your digital library.
• Publisher Agnostic: We work with multiple discovery providers and integrate seamlessly with tools like Libkey or SFX.
• Full Control: Library administrators can configure our AI’s tone, depth, and refinement strategies.
• Customizable Experience: Our interface can match your institution’s branding and design.
  

What’s Next: Deep Research

We’re not stopping here. Soon, we’ll launch Deep Research features, allowing students and researchers to go beyond article searches. Our goal is to reduce your “time to insight” and help you discover evidence-backed research directly on your library platform.

The UKSG 49th Annual Conference and Exhibition is one of the most important gatherings in the scholarly communications calendar. Each year, it brings together librarians, publishers, service providers, and researchers to discuss the future of academic publishing, research access, and library services.

We’re excited to share that Zendy will be exhibiting at the event, and we look forward to meeting members of the scholarly community throughout the conference.

UKSG Conference 2026

We’re heading to The London Book Fair in London, UK, from March 10–12, and we can’t wait to meet the people behind the research and publishing world.

Lisette van Kessel, our Head of Marketing, and Sara Crowley Vigneau, our Partnership Relations Manager, will be attending the fair and meeting with publishers and share what we’re building at Zendy, and see how we can make academic content easier to discover and use.

Zendy isn’t just a library of research, it’s a set of tools that help you make sense of it. Our AI can summarise papers, highlight key phrases, and help you find what’s relevant faster. Publishers can also use our tools to make their content easier to find and more engaging for readers.

We’re looking forward to exchanging ideas, learning from the community, and seeing new ways to connect researchers with the content they need.

If you want to meet us at the fair, email us at hello@zendy.io. For more info about the event, check out The London Book Fair.
