AI for Research

05 May 2025

Now that the spring semester is wrapping up, as well as the cold that hammered me in the last half of the last week of classes, I am turning my attention to the many, many, many uses of AI. I have not explored this space for a while, and while I knew that that there had been an explosion in the commercial space, I was not aware of the growth of the space of AI in support of research.

I am currently reviewing:

• Sapien by AcademicID whose chief claim rests upon “Messages [being] backed by actual research, significantly reducing the risk of hallucination.”
• SciSpace seems more focused on an interactive query structure where the AI asks you to narrow your focus more.
• Finally, there is NotebookLM which has already been discussed quite a bit, but I am only just now catching up to that discussion.

You can go back to the logbook or dive into the archive. Choose your own adventure!
