Keenious, an AI-based search tool now in trial use

Keenious, the artificial intelligence app purchased by the library, works in a new way: you do not have to think of search terms, you start with the text that interests you. Once you have found an interesting source - or written it yourself - you can use it as the basis for your search.

Keenious analyses the text you provide (pdf, url, text), tells you what topics it covers and searches hundreds of millions of publications for sources on the same topic. You can also customise the results list: set a time limit, emphasise a topic or add new ones. Keenious works in almost all languages, but you get the best results with English text.

Log in and try Keenious at: https://keenious.com/sign-up?group=2a4e0573. By logging in you can also save your searches.

You can also try Keenious without logging in at https://keenious.com/
