Generative AI: Discovering

Finding AI tools

New AI tools are being developed all the time. There are tools for summarising and reviewing literature, creating blogs, videos and images, scheduling meetings, improving grammar, finding 'answers', and so much more

The two lists below will help you choose the right tool for the job in academia.

The Ithaka Product Tracker provides a brief description, pricing information, key features, limitations and more.

Aaron Tay's lists from his "Musings About Librarianship" blog takes a deeper dive into the features, uses and limitations of many academic AI tools. He regularly writes about his in-depth explorations into AI.

Generative AI Product Tracker

The Generative AI Product Tracker lists generative AI products that are either marketed specifically towards postsecondary faculty or students or appear to be actively in use by postsecondary faculty or students for teaching, learning, or research activities. The Tracker is a living document, which we update regularly as new products enter the market or new information about existing products becomes available. For more information, see our issue brief, Generative AI in Higher Ed: The Product Landscape. Thanks to Gary Price of Library Journal’s infoDOCKET for invaluable help keeping track of new product releases.
