In this first chapter, we explore how the built-in AI features of mainstream productivity tools can make the daily workflows of researchers and educators significantly more efficient. We will cover the AI capabilities within Microsoft Teams and Google products, as well as how various AI agents can speed up routine tasks. To demonstrate these practical steps, we will be using the AI features in Office 365.


In this video, we dive into the world of AI research assistants and examine how to streamline academic research. We will discuss faster methods for discovering relevant sources and adopting a smarter approach to literature collection. The practical demonstration will guide you through using Scite AI and Google Scholar Labs.
