According to this article, "Impactstory recently announced a new tool in development. Called, Get The Research and aimed at serving the general public rather than an audience of scholars and specialists, it promises to provide a new level of accessibility (in multiple senses of the term) to published scholarship." Now to be clear, this tool doesn't actually exist yet; you can only sign up to be notified when the pre-release version is available (which I've done). Three things are planned: the search engine, which will be based on the Unpaywall database; "learning tools built on top of the literature" (which makes me wonder whether they'll enclose the literature); and "tools that actually translate articles into plain language" (same question).
