Overview
Research Buddy is a GPT targeted at assisting users with conducting research for their thesis work. It is in essence, a research assistant designed to provide factual and academic guidance.
This tool can be highly useful for students, researchers, or anyone in need of assistance for their academic work. Utilising the capabilities of ChatGPT, Research Buddy helps users find resources on a variety of subjects, advise on the structure of a thesis, offer guidance on how to document thesis progress, and provide detailed explanations on a wide range of topics.
Example queries include but are not limited to 'Help me find sources on quantum computing', 'What is the best structure for a biology thesis?', and 'Can you explain the impact of AI in healthcare?'.The main objective of Research Buddy is to simplify complex academic processes and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of research tasks.
By functioning as a research assistant, it aims to enable users to focus on the core aspects of their thesis, by offering credible guidance and resources.Please note that usage of Research Buddy requires ChatGPT Plus, indicating that it operates as an extension or 'app' leveraging the base capabilities of OpenAI's ChatGPT, thus ensuring a robust and intelligent interaction environment.

Ron Jayson🙏 79 karmaMar 1, 2024@Scholarcyeasy to pick up and you get a few free file imports. it gives you results pretty fast, unfortunately i can't find a way to get back to these, they're locked behind the paid service. -
I've tried to find the exact articles via WoS, Google, or Scopus. Despite using a very advised and complicated search query, it was just a waste of time. Perplexity didn't help either. The Jenni AI, which may add useful links when generating text, finds nothing but trash. SciScape gave exactly what I needed from the first query! A couple of fresh relative articles with very exact topics!

Such an impressive platform for all of us who are looking for more efficient ways to do the investigation. OpenRead has the potential to solve our problems.

Think its a fab tool but why wont it allow you to save your workflows?

Not particularly useful and expensive at the same time. Don’t waste your time or money.

I’ve been using it for a month now and I have decided to keep it for a year. There definitely are some kinks they can still work out like file management, but it’s very good at it’s core function: it generally does a good job answering questions and most times identifies PDFs automatically and correctly. The browser plugin works great, and it’s very nice that Papers allows you to add your university’s library API so you can automatically download PDFs that are accessible through your institution (sometimes it refuses to download some papers, so you just have to downlow it yourself and manually add it). The iPad and Android apps are serviceable. Every once in a while it will mess up the PDF identification, especially with papers from either very old sources or online-only journals. Things they must work on: * A much better system to annotate PDFs (the post-it type notes are cumbersome). * Introduce a notepad attached to each PDF or some way to easily link and save the AI’s output to the PDF. Currently, you have to add a little post it note and then paste the text there. * Keep the AI answers available after closing the documents. If you close the document by mistake or have several open and wish to close some, the ai conversation will be reset. * I REALLY wish that you could get citations and links to where the info was from extracted from PDFs. Currently, I have found Coral.ai does a much better job of showing you where the info came from and it even highlights it for you. Give it a try, their 30-day no credit card needed trial allowed me to truly test it, and now I’m a yearly subscriber looking forward for new additions and releases.
