EBSCOhost Adds Two New AI-Assisted Research Features
EBSCO Information Services introduced two AI-assisted research features into EBSCOhost. AI Conversational Search and Ask This Document (AI Ask) “are designed to help users research more efficiently and gain deeper insights from EBSCO content,” the press release notes. They are part of the EBSCOhost AI Research Companion suite. With AI Conversational Search, users can ask research questions in natural language and get concise answers that are supported by EBSCO-content-based citations. “As part of a phased rollout, AI Conversational Search is launching first on the Business Searching Interface for Business Source Ultimate subscribers, with availability expanding to additional EBSCOhost databases over the coming months,” according to the press release. With Ask This Document (AI Ask), users can ask questions about the content of full-text documents. The press release states, “Responses are generated from the document itself, helping researchers quickly assess relevance, find key points, and decide whether it supports their research.” For more information, read the press release.
