Notepad: SOFTWARE LISTING FOR AI RESEARCH AND WRITING

Many or most of these I've heard about through numerous videos on the Andy Stapleton channel.

Things I really use [xxx]

• General Language AI
• ChatGPT (Open AI) (have subscription) [XXX]
• CLAUDE (Anthropic) (have free level) [XXX]
• Science Research AI  (e.g. pubmed on AI steroids)
• SCITE.AI (have subscription) [XXX]
• Seems very powerful but also confusing to navigate
• Shows real text where any number of documents cite to the index document.
• For example, index is SMITH ET AL.  
• It shows papers that cite SMITH with visible extracted text such as , "We were able to confirm and extend the results of SMITH ET AL" snippet.
• Also noted and related:
• ELICIT.org (Find seed paper, Andy Stapleton here. 1:35.
• Then try taking that seed paper to LitMaps for context here. (forward and later works) 2:27
• Click "Discover more related articles"
• Put into manager like Mendeley (rec) or Zotero [*]
• ConnectedPapers also gives prior and derivative works (as does SCITE)
• DocAnalyzer.ai wlll analyze documents (although so will ChatGPT?)
• "Upload collection of documents and chat with them" here see details 9:00.  Stapleton notes it can be finicky but that encourages you to be careful and logical.
• One also sees mentioned...
• ConsensusUS.org
• JENNI.ai
• SemanticScholar.org
• and
• Metaphor.Systems
• SCI SPACE "literature review space"  https://scispace.com/  At YT.
• There are numerous YT comparison videos with keywords like Semanticscholar or SciSpace.
• See the "Andy Stapleton" YouTube channel
• Don't Forget these free services:
• Google Biomed Explorer https://sites.research.google/biomedexplorer/
• Google Scholar  https://scholar.google.com/scholar
• SCI HUB (quasi legal archive) https://sci-hub.se/ [XXX]
• Text clipper/paster:
• Text Blaze (installed Chrome button, free level) [XXX]
• https://dashboard.blaze.today/folder/LFrx9xrztJrguvJrYefs
• This gives you small (free) or huge (pay) storage of text snippets and forms to plug into writings.  One YTer used it to manage a wide range of AI personas.
• Also noted as alternatives to TextBlaze:
• TextExpander.com
• Espanso (free)
• Getmagical.com
• Oslash.com
• Others I actually use, not necessarily "research tools"
• I also have TabExtend which was a one time purchase and provides an html-like browser page for writing and storing links [XXX]
• I have a subscription to READWISE for storing articles, [XXX] Readwise Reader, small subscription.   Free readers did not work as well for me.  Readwise auto-audio-reads all content, which I use.
• I use FEEDLY as a blog and article auto aggregator to skim.[XXX}
• I use a MS ONENOTE CLIPPER button to store articles in MS Office ONENOTE for client memos. [XXX]
• I do most of my work in NOTION rather than One Note though. [XXX]

A channel, Science Grad School Hub, has released a "hub" for AI software like those above.  Video and website.

I use an older program called EndNote that is not as well web integrated.  I had troubles getting Zotero to put hyperlinks in my bibliography the way I wanted.  (For example, my Monthly Headlines Report is designed to be links only as the reference footnote).
