Hottest NEW AI tools for Research: Must-Watch AI Apps

AI Tools for Academics and Researchers

In this video, the speaker discusses two AI tools that can be useful for academics and researchers. The first tool is called "Scribbr" which helps in writing research papers and grants. The second tool is called "Jenny AI" which helps in generating text.

Scribbr

• Scribbr's assistant can answer simple questions, start a draft of an essay or paragraph, and use information from research articles to support research tasks.

• Scribbr can generate grant proposals by analyzing documents and finding references.

• Scribbr can generate literature reviews with references based on specific prompts.

• Users need to be specific when asking the AI to do something.

Jenny AI

• Jenny AI is a powerful tool that can help formulate documents, reference them, and find things easily.

• Users are in control of the generated text as it will continue to write until they accept it.

• Jenny AI has many features such as citation styles and academic settings.

Introduction to Organic Photovoltaic Devices

In this section, the speaker introduces organic photovoltaic devices and discusses how AI can be used to create academic pieces of work.

What are Organic Photovoltaic Devices?

• It is mentioned that using AutoGPT may require an API and can cost money if used continuously.

AI Tools for Academics

In this video, the speaker discusses some of the most exciting advances in AI tools for academics that are available to use right now.

GPT-3

• The speaker talks about GPT-3, a powerful language model that can generate human-like text and perform various natural language processing tasks.

• Agent GPT is a beta version of GPT-3 that can be used in the browser without having to download Python code. It is still in development but could potentially be useful for academia in the future.

OpenAI Codex

• OpenAI Codex is an AI system that can write code based on natural language inputs. It has been trained on a large dataset of code and can understand programming concepts and syntax.

• The speaker demonstrates how Codex can be used to generate code snippets by describing what they want the program to do.

Scholarcy

• Scholarcy is an AI-powered research tool that helps users summarize academic papers, extract key information, and generate citations.

• The speaker explains how Scholarcy works by analyzing the structure of academic papers and identifying important sections such as abstracts, introductions, and conclusions.

Conclusion
