AI agents searching library databases

  • 1.  AI agents searching library databases

    Posted Aug 04, 2025 02:01 PM

    Has anyone experimented with having AI agents 'go into' your databases and search for articles? Apparently they can do that now. (Actually I think they've been able to, in theory, for a while). What makes things different now is it's a freely available feature, at least with ChatGPT. Therefore making it more likely that students will come across it and try it.
