If current trends continue, in the nearfuture GAI use will be ubiquitous, fully integrated into the core mission ofcolleges and universities.

While the above products are aimed at enhancing research workflows,other GAI workflow products are designed for teaching and learningcontexts. An example is Kortext Premium(https://www.kortext.com/premium-live/), an enhanced version of theKortext study platform. This multipurpose workspace provides studentsaccess to digital textbooks and file storage, as well as generating studynotes, summaries, translations, and citations.

Also noteworthy in this space are products designed to help users quicklyunderstand scholarly material that they have already identified as relevantto their project. Scholarcy (https://www.scholarcy.com/), ChatPDF(https://www.chatpdf.com/), Adobe’s AI Assistant(https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/generative-ai-pdf.html), and the aptlynamed TLDR This (https://www.tldrthis.com/) and Explainpaper(https://www.explainpaper.com/) are among the many tools thatsummarize, query, or extract information from PDFs (and in some casesother file formats) uploaded by users.

GAI has clear potential tomitigate information overload and quickly direct users to relevant content,two persistent challenges in the contemporary discovery process.
