ChatGPT	An AI language model that generates human-like responses to queries. It can be used to create teaching materials, personalize the learning process and develop students critical thinking skills. The free version has limitations (e.g., limited DALL-E – a model for translating text into images – functions), while the paid version provides access to the latest and more powerful models (e.g., GPT-5 Pro) and faster response generation.
Elicit	An AI research assistant that helps review literature and academic works, systematize data, automate article selection and extract data. The free version offers unlimited searches, summaries and reports (up to 4 documents at a time), while in the paid "Plus" / "Pro" versions, the number of abstracts increases to 8 documents at a time and unlimited export of data tables to CSV/BIB/RIS formats, more detailed document previews and notifications with the latest information on research in the selected field are also provided.
Gemini	An AI language model that generates human-like responses to queries. "Deep Research" allows you to browse websites, analyze information and create detailed reports, while "Gemini Live" allows you to create learning plans, topic summaries and practice presentations. The paid versions, "Google AI Pro" and "Google AI Ultra", provide access to the more powerful "2.5 Pro" model, more accurate and faster "Deep Research", video generation with "Veo 3" and more options with the "NotebookLM" research and writing assistant.
Keenious	An AI academic research tool designed to help students and researchers find scientific literature. It analyzes the uploaded document and, using interdisciplinary methods, recommends similar or related scientific articles. Provides access to more than 250 million academic works. The free version provides access to all search results and unlimited chats, while the paid version provides full access with a university or organization license (access for students/employees, interface with library resources, training and webinars offered).
Litmaps	A tool for scientific literature research. Creates a visual map of academic literature, finds related sources on a selected topic from more than 270 million resources.
