@9:43 I really love the first PDF you showed 😂 actually quite fits with myself since I'm doing my Masters degree in sexology and most examples people use with ai and study is chemistry, engineering, physics and so on. It's great to see more social oriented work also works on these ai tools.

[skrozneobican]

[luisroca]

Love your humor! ANDY you are actually the best on all those papers!

[jennytaylor]

Thank you so much, I have returned to studying as a mature student and needed updating on the sources of assistance I can use to make things easer for me. You've helped me do that. Much appreciated.

[ibraheemdooba]

Thank you, Andy. These are helpful. Is there any tool for a systematic review?

[jgybqnx]

I second that, always looking for good translation tools on a budget.

[samtabby]

@DrAndyStapleton You are on my short-list of people i would love to live next door to. Yay!

[densonsmith]

You are doing a great job of reviewing and curating research tools! I'm making a deep dive into the "OG way" by building an OpenAI custom GPT for each important paper. This is very powerful because you can include additional information about the paper from multiple colleagues, meeting transcripts etc in the GPT's knowledge.

[TheDigitalLearningConsultant]

Hey Andy, I’m loving loving LOVING your content - so helpful! Do you have any recommendations for research tools specifically for papers in the education field?

[saniaparveen]
