Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI tools replace primary research?
No. AI research tools are powerful for secondary research synthesis but cannot replace interviews, surveys, experiments, or original data collection.
How accurate is AI-generated research?
Accuracy depends on the tool and source data. Always verify AI-summarised claims against primary sources, particularly for academic or business-critical work.
What types of research tasks are AI tools best at?
Summarising long documents, extracting key points from PDFs, generating research outlines, identifying contradictions across sources, and tracking information across the web.
