AI-Enhanced Tools to Find Educational Resources/Publications

Use PerplexityAI to search for articles, sources, videos and resources on an education topic
PerplexityAI (GPT + Bing) can find useful sources, resources and syntheses of ideas. Give it a detailed prompt or question about your research topic - it will find suggestions with links to sources and suggestions for follow-on questions. The Video search option is useful for YouTube resources, and it has an academic option as well. In CoPilot mode, start with "Help me to..." and it will clarify your requests as it goes.
Use Elicit for AI-enhanced search & summaries of academic papers
