Very helpful Andy!!! Do you think I’m going to have problems with uploading my own data documents which is not yet published if I want perplexity to polish my document? Many thanks for your input!
Thanx again for this very informative AI video for research; although I must admit it was hard to follow. First when I go to open AI playground it asks me to pay for API; is that normal ?
I have tried many, and in my opinion Perplexity is indeed the best. Someone has mentioned Scispace, Consensus, etc. … but for me Perplexity has been the very best. The reason being, in my view, the sequence reasoning capabilities that give Perplexity the power to brainstorm with you once the discovery of papers is completed. For the discovery of papers, I use Research Rabbit, Consensus, Litmaps, and Perplexity; and then feed everything into Perplexity to bring everything together and start brainstorming. My two cents.
a friend with a thick beard, in one of your videos you showed a tool that helps to generate a map of similar and referencing studies. it was the map that was generated, a spiderweb of links Can you tell me what it's called? I've already watched 20 videos, but I couldn't find them.
@Andy - Around 7:43 in the video, you see two buttons at the top right of the screen; one is Preview, and the other is Code. If you click on the Code button, it probably will show the code that generated the chart, and you may be able to determine why the bar chart didn't pick up the missing value(s).
I was with you for a while. Academia certainly is broken and the PhD completely meaningless. Science was the last holdout but no more. However, unless I've missed something, now you are accelerating the crumble. The key word in "PhD student" is student. Students are there to learn skills. I've had this argument with many Australian so-called unis quite recently and they are as obtuse as you: any use of AI for any student is cheating, no exceptions. It completely misses the point of being a student. Furthermore, anyone using it just advertises to employers that the AI could and should do their jobs. I'm a science communicator (ex-CSIRO) and I thought you and I might have something in common, but no. I'm finished with this channel.
What if there are no people willing to teach students the skills. You were fortunate to have had the opportunity to study in a well-grounded uni. Whether you like it or not, A.I. is here to stay, in fact, universities are researching to make A.I. even more productive.
@@tostronenergy3302 Whether in so-called music, photography, or writing, AI does nothing but plagiarise. AI is perfect plagiarism software. It's incapable of new insights, incapable of critical thinking. These are the only point or value of a PhD. An AI written paper only has any value in a world that values quantity over quality. I've edited papers written that way, not gibberish but still having nothing meaningful to say. The fact that unis do embrace AI is yet another reason why we have reached the end of education. This channel is now abetting that. He complains while also making it worse.
I agree with you... I suppose is comercial interest fault... and it easier to get money gathering cheaters that to design a video to teach phd skills... this guy is now just a marketing AI channel..
There’s so much depression in academia, so many depressed PhD students too … from my class, three classmates went into depression because they couldn’t “crack” their method, or their theoretical framework, or their selection of case studies, to name a few causes. Two of them had terrible supervisors and never had the chance to openly brainstorm ideas with them without feeling judged. I didn’t go through those pains myself, but I certainly understood them. I think AI is starting to make the life of academics more enjoyable, less depressive, and PhD students and professors should responsibly embrace it. For the first time in history, we have a virtual “colleague” with whom to brainstorm ideas and get academically creative, and a virtual “research assistant” who could help you with routine tasks. Imagine if Albert Einstein would have lived in our era … he would have achieved even greater findings about our universe with the help of artificial intelligence. The smart students, the hard working ones, will always produce solid and original work. They will and are using AI to increase the quality and depth of their research. Those who entirely rely on AI to do the thinking for them will eventually disappear in anonymity.

You forgot to mention that it need API key

This was really helpful Andy Thank you
Claude always seems to be under heavy use and restricted to Haiku model
Yes, very annoying.
Thanx again for this very informative AI video for research; although I must admit it was hard to follow. First when I go to open AI playground it asks me to pay for API; is that normal ?
maybe
I think so, I think open AI playground is only available with a paid subscription.
Love this video! thank you so much!
Regards from Kuwait, is Perplexity the best AI for academic research?
In my experience, yes
absolutely
Not at all in my opinion, it only scratches the surface for Academic papers. Scispace, Scite, Consensus are all better for literature review/research
Elicit for me

i am waitting to know best of 2025
How can I contact you for counsel on my dissertation regarding AI?
Playground is not for free?

Grumpy divorced professor?? 😂😂😂
TWICE (only) divorced professor.

Je ne suis pas d’accord, l’étudiant tricheur publiera peut être enfin une étude dans sa vie mais le non tricheur pourra en publier 10 fois plus.
