These AI research tools harness artificial intelligence to provide assistance that ranges from simple data collection to complex analysis and interpretation of scientific papers. As technology progresses, the integration of AI tools for research into daily tasks is becoming more seamless and impactful.

One of the key features of these AI tools for research paper preparation is their ability to sift through vast amounts of data to find relevant information. This capability not only saves time but also ensures that the quality of research is enhanced by accessing the most pertinent and up-to-date information. For students and professionals alike, this means that preparing a research paper no longer has to be a daunting task filled with endless hours of searching for resources.

The best AI tools go beyond just finding and organizing information. They analyze text for key concepts, suggest related topics, and can even generate summaries of lengthy documents which are particularly useful for anyone looking to streamline their research process. These summaries provide a quick overview of a document's content, making it easier to decide whether a full read is necessary or if the summarized information suffices for the researcher’s needs.

Hi Andy. I follow your channel for most of the advice regarding PhD and everything related to it. Over the past few months I tried to try the tools you have been show casing but it is becoming difficult to keep track of so many of these AI tools and websites. This is also because many of these have such a large overlap in there functionalities. It would be very helpful if you could make a video summarising your own AI videos into categories. For example as a section in the video you can talk about all the AI writing tools you have discussed till now and the 1 or 2 you recommend everyone to try and then maybe other such sections can be AI tools for literature review, for data processing etc. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate your videos.

This video is basically a 10 minute ad for this guy's course on AI research assistants. He throws a bunch of tools at you like Consensus, Elicit, Sciaspace, Perplexity, and Argo, but doesn't really explain how to use them effectively. He just shows the basic interface of each tool and says "it's really great." What he's NOT telling you is that these tools require careful prompting and critical evaluation of the results. Don't expect to just type in a question and get a perfect answer! He briefly mentions Connected Papers, but only for finding derivative works, completely ignoring its potential for exploring entire research landscapes. Overall, this video is more hype than substance. You're better off looking for in-depth tutorials on specific tools and learning how to critically evaluate AI-generated research.

Love your videos. It’s like Russel Brand had a PHD and is excitedly sharing his tips and tricks !

I have used all of these before but still would add a caveat, just in case people have too much faith in machine learning applications:
Any of these models are generally fairly capable but never rely fully on these tools to summarize papers faithfully. One thing are errors of misinterpretation, which you can usually easily check by quickly glancing at the abstract or conclusions. But the other thing are errors of omission, which are harder to find. I've had several cases where these things gave completely wrong answers about methodology.
Now it doesn't matter if you'll go over the recommended papers anyway but I'm seeing some stressed student using it and just putting that into their lit review and it being completely wrong.
Generally, these models are not yet as amazing for summarization as we'd like them to be. Tools like the individual columns of scispace can be useful because they can, indeed, make use of individual flags for the compilation of the points they extract but they will fail to produce a good, coherent summary in the majority of cases.

Don’t you think it’s getting more and more boring? I’m following your channel a couple of years now, but in the last year my impression is that your videos are only a marketing channel for AI tools. I am missing your videos where you were talking about research topics and which really gave very useful information. But now…. Repeatedly the same AI buzz word bingo. AI tools will not help anybody if they have not understood the research process and how to write a paper at all.

Oof, that analysis of the tattoo question shows why it's so important to be critical of... well, everything. But more specifically in this case - the casual link is obviously backwards.

[EseIzan]

Wow consensus is incredible... Thank you!! you saved my a lot of hours <3

Thanks for all of your work. I’m sharing your videos with students.

[razorr]

Absolutely loved it bro, subscribed forever.

[adnanpuskar]

Thanks for reasearch help.Sir you are great

[aimannaji]

What do you think about Afforai? Does it deserve to get purchased?

[BybbyCreme]

stunning tools! thank you for your effort :)

[dipenshah]

Is there scispace like tool to research international court judgments? or can we add this kind of literature research functionality to free database of judgments like worldlii?

[quickestsleets]

Hi Dr andy got a quick question. As an undergrad who has barely done any research reports in school, which course on your site would be best?

[biri]

another great video! thanks, Andy!! hey, where do you buy your colorful t-shirts? I'd love to gift my husband with one like yours :)

[farzanhussain]

Hello sir I hope you will response to this comment. Actually I am writing 2 research paper and the methodology is same just the dataset is different, so can I write the same content in methodology for both my papers or will it be consider as plagiarism?

[markrosenberg]

But very little that edits PowerPoint files using academic manuscripts to learn, adapt and produce new PowerPoint files!

[liamduffy]

most important thing to speed up is me. Also, how sure are you that these aren't giving out BS references?
