Academic AI powered research tools
Helps you get started with your academic desk research! You pose a research question and the system searches for relevant literature based on your question. You can upload articles to generate summaries and ask article-specific questions.
Please note: Only upload articles you have obtained legally 😉
In the free versions, you have unlimited searches, but a limited number of advanced features.
You can read about the articles, but like in Google Scholar, you need to find the full version yourself. Read our article on how to access academic articles.
Elicit and Consensus both source information from the Semantic Scholar platform, whose content is based on partner publishers. Therefore, not all existing academic literature can be searched and presented!
Upload an academic article - highlight text you don't understand, and get an explanation at a different academic level, ie. high school level.
The free version can help you understand sections in academic articles and is based on chatGPT 3.5. The paid version can do more, such as summarizing main points.
Please note: Only upload articles you have obtained legally 😉
Background Knowledge and Critical Thinking
We have mentioned a fraction of all the AI-based study tools you can find. They are selected based on reviews and usability. They can make parts of your work faster and more efficient than if you were to do the same manually, but they are not flawless. A common limitation is that they inevitably reproduce errors and biases from the data they draw on, and may be trained on a limited pool of articles.
To determine if the tools' analyses are good enough, you need to have a basic knowledge of the subject you want to investigate. You can get that from a textbook on the topic!
