AI-powered Literature Review & Synthesis
Recording from my workshop last week on smarter literature review with AI
Last week I taught a workshop on AI-powered Literature Review & Synthesis as part of the AI Upskilling series run by Ryan Wright, sponsored by the Provost’s Office. Two workshops, in fact: over 135 people registered so we split the workshop into an in-person session one day and Zoom the next. Here’s the recording of the Zoom session.
In the workshop I talk about using Consensus,1 Consensus + Zotero, and topped it off with some really fun demos using Consensus + Claude via MCP.
If you’re at UVA, make sure to keep an eye on what Ryan Wright and Varun Korisapati are writing over at AI Exchange @ UVA for announcements about future events like this and much more on what’s happening in AI at the University of Virginia.
If you’re at UVA, the Library provides free Enterprise access to Consensus. See more info here, or better yet, talk to your friendly local librarian: guides.lib.virginia.edu/consensus.
