I just got an email solicitation from Semantic Scholar. It is a free online program (made by the Allen Institute to facilitate research) that makes AI generated recommendations of papers for you to read and has access to available pdfs.
I have been downloading papers from Research Gate, and less frequently Academia. For some people, I get them from peoples academic websites. Sometimes BioRvix or Google Scholar. This has worked pretty well for me.
The Semantic Scholar might find papers I would be interested in faster.

Anyone else had an experience with this?

I have used it a bit now.
It seems pretty useful. Found a bunch of new papers.
