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
Elicit searches Semantic Scholar and will find papers related to your question, with summaries. Free with account. Frame your search as a question for a synthesis of the top papers. Sorts by most cited, most recent, or by open access to pdf. Click on a paper for more detailed summaries.
Semantic Scholar - Academic Research
AI-enhanced academic research portal, free with account. Searches for papers, including summaries, links to references and citations. This example links to "international education" filtered by the field of Education over the last 5 years, with pdf available.
