The topic of AI tools and their integration into regular life has been a hot discussion over the past year. Recent innovations have even shown that AI can even be used in academic settings.
Just to make it clear, none of these tools are meant to provide an easy solution for students to finish their schoolwork nor a replacement for teachers and professors.
The following AI tools are intended to help learners, as well as instructors, organize and manage their draft works and ease the workload needed to complete the task.
1. Taskade
Taskade can be categorized as a universal notepad where users can manage their schedules, tasks, workspaces, documents, and templates
The platform's built-in AI system can break down each project for you into manageable simple tasks with a clear workflow you can easily follow.
While the service requires payment, the free demo version still provides enough materials and resources to accomplish tasks.
Taskade is powered by a GPT-4 AI system, made to efficiently manage documents and workspaces, as well as answer queries from users.
2. MyAskAI
Similar to Taskade, MyAskAI is focused on providing users with easier navigation through their school papers.
You can simply ask the AI to search for specific information from the documents you provided or request summaries. It is great when citing studies for literature reviews.
The AI is not fully reliable enough to give accurate summaries but can still show the main overview of a paper. It works best if the summary request is narrowed down into sections rather than letting the AI scan the whole paper.
Just like Taskade, MyAskAI has a free option where users can upload at least three documents and 50 questions per month.
3. Otter.ai
Transcribing video and audio recordings is one of those tedious tasks many students have to endure when writing up report papers.
Thanks to Otter.ai, the burden of completing that transcription can be lessened. The AI has the capability to transcribe and summarize audio clips.
It can even be used during actual meetings and classes to take notes with its real-time recording function.
Just make sure the audio is clear as the AI may transcribe the recording wrong.
Otter.ai's free plan leaves much to be desired but its paid option is affordable to provide the performance it promises.
4. GPT for Work
If you are doing quantitative studies or simply finishing advanced Mathematics on the computer, GPT for Work's wide array of functions is sure to be a lifesaver.
Students can use its data management capabilities to write the requested Excel formula or create graphs from the data sheets provided.
For larger documents, it provides tags and a chatbot users can go to easily find specific information from their sheets. It can also generate outlines for Word documents and break down the paper into individual summarized parts.
GPT for Work has better summarizing capabilities compared to other AI tools so it is sure to be a great help for high school and college students doing their research papers.
5. Consensus
Speaking of research, Consensus is sure to lessen the work time for scientific research as it can easily provide a list of related studies users can use.
There is also no risk of citing hallucinated papers as the AI provides the link for the journals, many of which were chosen from the free available papers.
It even comes with details regarding the suggested studies, including the abstract and how many cited that specific paper.
6. Genei
Genei is another research-dedicated AI tool in the sense that it can alert users of the latest studies regarding the topic of their paper.
If you are using keywords in your research paper, Genei is sure to use those to provide specific recommendations for quantitative papers.
Even better, you can use Genei to arrange and manage your references instead of manually arranging it alphabetically and changing them to the academic format.
Genei is a paid AI service for $5 per month with a two-week free trial.
