The number of AI tools is growing all the time. AI can help you for example edit text when you need help structuring a topic or creating an image.
There are many AI-enabled information search tools, and more are being developed all the time. Some are not very different from traditional database search from the user's point of view.
Keenious Plus is on trial use at Metropolia during 2025.
Keenious finds scientific articles, for example by using an article you have already found. So if you have found a really good article on a topic, you can enter it into Keenious and it will recommend similar articles for you!
Download add-in for Word or Google docs, and Keenious will suggest articles based on your text.

If you're thinking of asking an AI to write something for you, you should bear in mind that you can't fully trust the text it produces. It is also common for AI to hallucinate sources, i.e. to add sources that do not exist to the text.
