I'm looking for an AI tool to assist me with my research project. It's a pretty ambitious task, something that would typically require a PhD, so I'm hoping AI can help fill in the gaps where my experience is lacking, haha. I remember there was a large language model designed specifically for research purposes. I'm interested in an app that's similar to ChatGPT but relies on information from credible sources. What suggestions do you have?

Honestly, ChatGPT seems to be what most people go for; however, if you need something with a large context window, Claude is worth considering. But be wary of Gemini—it tends to have issues with comprehension despite the hype. Just my two cents!
Yeah, if we're talking about context windows, Claude has its advantages, but ChatGPT can be limiting unless you’re on the premium plan.
ChatGPT is a solid option for general use, especially if you're just getting started. It can help with a range of questions and writing tasks pretty well.
If you're focusing on writing research papers, I recommend Scite AI. It’s really good for finding relevant studies and understanding citations. For day-to-day study help, check out NotebookLM—it’s user-friendly and effective for learning!
Gemini 2.5 Pro is getting a lot of praise lately, and while it’s had its ups and downs, it’s improved significantly and is close to the top right now.
