Extension summary

Keeping up with the latest literature can be overwhelming in today's fast-paced scientific landscape. With over 3,000 new papers published daily on PubMed alone, it's nearly impossible for scientists to review and comprehend all available information thoroughly.

BenAI Research Assistant is a browser extension that helps scientists navigate scientific literature more efficiently to distil accurate insights. BenAI Research Assistant leverages a subset of BenevolentAI’s artificial intelligence capabilities and is designed for scientists in academia and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies of all sizes.

BenAI Research Assistant supports scientists by streamlining the main steps in the reading process of an article. Here’s how:

➤ Decide whether an article is worth your time. Next to providing a concise summary of an article and its main findings, you have direct access to a wide range of article metadata, including journal impact factor, number of citations and the availability of peer reviews.

➤ Understand and uncover key insights from an article. By highlighting scientific concepts in the text itself and providing one-click access to their descriptions and related information, you can quickly skim the content of a paper in a more focused fashion.

➤ Get answers to your scientific questions. Get instant answers to scientific questions, removing the need to perform extensive searches in PubMed yourself. In addition, links to similar articles are automatically provided, allowing you to quickly identify articles that align with the research findings of the one you are currently reading.
