Quizlet creates flash cards, notes and practice tests based on uploaded course materials.
Yippity quickly generates quizzes based on pasted text.
Often used for generating meeting or class notes, Fireflies transcribes and summarises recorded conversations.
Examples of generative AI that can support research discovery and generate explanations include: Elicit, Research Rabbit, and Scite.
- Please note that some databases available at CWC also use AI to help generate search results.
Elicit: The AI Research Assistant
Elicit, developed by Ought, is an AI tool to find 'seed articles' and to mine for keywords/subject headings. When you enter a question, it returns alternate questions that can lead to further "seed" articles.

ResearchRabbit is an innovative “citation-based literature mapping tool” available online. The scope of such tool is to optimize your time searching for references as you start planning your essay, minor project, or literature review. The concept is simple: you start by using one or more papers (called seed papers), and the app will find more papers relevant to the topic of interest (which is dictated by the seed papers you previously selected).
The tool is designed to support your research without you switching between searching modes and databases, a process that is time consuming and often escalates into further citation mining; a truly unpleasant rabbit hole (and that’s what inspired the name ResearchRabbit)!

Scite is an AI-powered research tool designed to enhance literature discovery and citation analysis. Its key feature, Smart Citation, shows the context in which an article is cited and whether it offers supporting or contrasting evidence. This helps users quickly assess the relevance and impact of academic sources.
Scite also includes Assistant, a generative AI feature that answers research questions by summarizing recent academic literature and providing source references. While helpful for overviews, it is intended as a starting point rather than a replacement for a full literature review.
Scite partners with major publishers and preprint servers to offer a broad, high-quality index of academic papers.
Searching Features:
Scite processes full-text articles to build out its database of Smart Citations, which contain information about:
This source of data is used to build a variety of features. For example, you can find the scite report for a given paper and:
