My wife is an academic, her university had a course on about use of GenAI, here are some of the tools that were used on the course:
- https://www.humata.ai/
- https://scispace.com/
- https://consensus.app/
- https://www.joinsuperhuman.io/tools
- https://scite.ai/
- https://elicit.com/
The founder of https://www.world-brain-scholar.eu/ reached out to me to let me know about their tool, which includes the researcher assistant https://elicit.com/.
https://allref.io remains a favourite of mine, and https://www.futurehouse.org/ looks powerful.
The mother of all tools list is being curated by Helen King - https://coda.io/@helen-king/ai-powered-publishing-use-cases
What this tells us is that there is a lot of innovation happening, which is unsurprising. What we can't see yet is how much traction any of these tools are getting.
I don't hear a huge amount of buzz beyond the main LLMs, but then I'm not close enough to actual researchers. Does anyone have any insight into what the cool kids are using these days?
