Keenious: Point Park's AI-powered research tool

... is an AI-powered research tool that analyzes text and automatically recommends related articles. It can be used either on something you're currently writing, or on an existing article that you've found. It seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Word or Google Docs and can be used within them. Keenious is best used as a supplement for existing resources such as the University Library's 'Find It' page that searches a huge range of academic databases for journal articles and other materials.
