- PerplexityA resource discovery tool that uses gen. AI principles to enhance internet searches. It can provide links to web articles and freely available scholarly articles as citations in its responses to user prompts. Runs on OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and 4 LLM.
- Research RabbitTool designed to supplement resource discovery for literature reviews. Users can upload a single paper (called a "seed paper") and then find topically related articles and those connected via citations.
Notes regarding the content on this page:
- Due to the speed with which generative AI tools proliferate, this is not a comprehensive list of all generative AI tools related to research, nor is it designed to be. It is simply to provide information about relevant generative AI tools for this FYS course.
- Additionally, the tools listed here can be used in more situations than just the top-line descriptors. Take time to learn what these tools do well, and just as importantly, what they don't do well.
- UR does not currently offer an institutional subscription to paid versions of any generative AI tools, and the content in this guide does not represent an endorsement of any tool by UR.
