UR-094 AIStudy: Using AI to Study AI

Interactive AI studying tool or AIStudy is a flask-based web-app which enables users to quickly search, save, and study scientific papers. AIStudy streamlines the literature review process by utilizing large language models (LLMs) allowing for users to engage with research in a creative and interactive way. To begin with a user searches up papers using the arXiv API and PyMuPDF for scraping the contents. These are saved to a user database managed by SQL Alchemy. The user can then ask a chatbot about one or more papers at a time through Ollama’s API in order to produce Retrieval-Augmented Generated (RAG) responses. Using AIStudy, we investigated the current research in human-AI collaboration.
