AI’s ability to quickly generate article summaries from a single question is always fascinating. The paragraphs are often well structured, and many do include real sources. But how accurate is the generated content? Do the sources support their statements? Can this summary be treated as literature review? In this post, we will explore four AI-powered research tools – Scite, Elicit, Consensus, and Scopus AI – and examine their capabilities in summary or review generation.

AI's ability to rapidly generate article summaries from a single question is truly fascinating. These summaries often feature well-structured paragraphs and include real sources. However, questions arise: How accurate is the generated content? Do the cited sources support the statements? Can these summaries serve as legitimate literature reviews? In this post, we'll explore four AI-powered research tools—Scite, Elicit, Consensus, and Scopus AI—and examine their capabilities in producing summaries and reviews.
