UK-based Digital Science has acquired Jenni AI, a globally trusted AI-native platform utilized by over 8 million students and researchers from 189 countries. Jenni AI assists users in traversing from an initial concept to a complete piece of work by permitting them to upload papers or import their reference libraries, explore sources, draft, refine, and verify citations against original material.
Digital Science aims to bolster Jenni AI's capabilities by integrating its vast research data, beginning with Dimensions' 171-million-publication database and leveraging its full-text search functionalities to facilitate researchers' discovery, comprehension, and citation of scholarly literature more efficiently.
Stephen Leicht, CEO of Digital Science, elucidates that researchers increasingly rely on AI; however, their major need remains citations that have been substantiated against the actual paper. He highlights how Jenni AI's user-friendly experience is often adopted from the early stages of a researcher's career. By acquiring Jenni AI, Digital Science seeks to incorporate a renowned platform that can verify every suggested source against its extensive database, ensuring reliability as research progresses from a thesis chapter to a funded lab.
Leicht expresses satisfaction at welcoming David, Marc, Shailesh and the entire Jenni AI team into Digital Science.
Jenni AI joins Digital Science's diverse portfolio of research tools, which includes Overleaf, Papers AI, and ReadCube. This acquisition not only expands Digital Science's offerings but also reinforces its connections with PhD and master's students at the beginning of their careers, fostering their growth as they advance in research.
David Park, CEO of Jenni AI, asserts that the vision behind Jenni was to leverage AI to aid researchers in exploring their curiosity and crafting exceptional work. The acquisition of Digital Science marks a significant stride towards a future where every researcher possesses the requisite knowledge, tools, and assurance to propel the frontiers of human discovery.
Jenni AI will continue to operate independently under its original name, retaining the same team, pricing, and subscription plans.
