Turning a research paper into a clear and well-structured conference presentation is a familiar challenge in academic work. In this post, we test whether NotebookLM can generate a usable slide deck directly from an uploaded article. The focus is on how effectively the system translates a dense written argument into
Generative AI tools designed specifically for academic research are beginning to reshape how scholars conduct literature reviews and map scholarly debates. In this post, we test LeapSpace (ScienceDirect AI), Elsevier’s Scopus-integrated deep research assistant, to examine how it structures evidence, organises themes, and traces citation networks within peer-reviewed literature.
When using generative AI for legal research, the language of the prompt may influence not only stylistic features of the output but also the model’s underlying source selection. In this experiment, we examined how two advanced models – Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2 – responded to identical questions about
Generative AI tools are increasingly moving beyond static text responses towards richer, interface-driven explanations. In this post, we explore Gemini’s Dynamic View feature using a conceptually demanding technical question about transformer architectures. Rather than producing a conventional paragraph-style summary, Gemini generated an interactive, visually structured learning environment that allows
