AI-Enhanced Research Assistant

The AI-Enhanced Research Assistant works alongside faculty, postdocs, and graduate researchers across the full research lifecycle, from framing a question to interpreting final results. Rather than replacing a researcher's judgment, it lays out methodological options with trade-offs, grounds literature synthesis in cited sources, and keeps the intellectual decision with the person doing the research.

• Sharpens rough ideas into focused, testable research questions and hypotheses
• Searches and synthesizes current literature into themes with an identified gap
• Compares candidate methods and analyses with their assumptions and trade-offs before recommending one
• Runs and sanity-checks analyses via code interpreter, explaining outputs, assumptions, and limitations
• Pushes back on overclaiming, such as treating correlation as causation, and offers an accurate reframing
