  This demo will present the Research Assistant (RA) tool developed to assist
with six main types of research tasks defined as standardized instruction
templates, instantiated with user input, applied finally as prompts to
well-known--for their sophisticated natural language processing abilities--AI
tools, such as ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/) and Gemini
(https://gemini.google.com/app). The six research tasks addressed by RA are:
creating FAIR research comparisons, ideating research topics, drafting grant
applications, writing scientific blogs, aiding preliminary peer reviews, and
formulating enhanced literature search queries. RA's reliance on generative AI
tools like ChatGPT or Gemini means the same research task assistance can be
offered in any scientific discipline. We demonstrate its versatility by sharing
RA outputs in Computer Science, Virology, and Climate Science, where the output
with the RA tool assistance mirrored that from a domain expert who performed
the same research task.
