Faculty, staff, and students have limited time to test and provide feedback on three artificial intelligence-powered research platforms currently being piloted at Washington State University Libraries.
Three AI-powered tools, Scite.ai, Consensus, and Undermind.ai, have been recognized for their ability to help researchers understand the context of citations, perform deep literature searches, and integrate findings across papers.
“As with any emerging technology, these tools are not a substitute for academic judgment,” Library Director Trevor Bond said in a message to the WSU community earlier this month. “Our goal is to better understand how evidence-based, discipline-aware AI tools can responsibly complement research and education.”
Trial access for Scite.ai and Undermind.ai is scheduled to end at the end of this month, while trial access for Consensus will continue until the end of the spring 2026 academic year. If you have not yet tried these AI tools, you can do so by creating an account using your WSU.edu email address.
WSU Libraries is collecting feedback from members of the university community who have tested the functionality of these tools through online surveys. Additionally, an informal feedback session held via Zoom will be held later this month.
