Gen AI in research management

Improve your research management platform with Gen AI

As a researcher, you’ve got a lot on your plate. Beyond the research itself, there’s funding to secure, admin to handle, finances to manage, data to organize, and a team to keep aligned. Enter a research management platform and generative AI to streamline various tasks and boost productivity and teamwork. Here's how it works.

Start with a research management platform

Researchers today spend up to 40% of their time on administrative tasks like internal and external reporting, approving requests and managing budgets. To reduce this load and streamline workflows, more and more companies and institutions are turning to digital research management. Platforms like Flexso’s Research Management Package allow researchers to save time and focus on what truly matters: advancing their research.

3 use cases for Gen AI in research management

A platform like Flexso's Research Management Package can significantly improve productivity and teamwork, but adding generative AI takes it even further. Here are 3 ways Gen AI can make a difference:

Create texts from scratch

As a researcher, writing proposals and other bodies of text is an integral part of your daily work. With Gen AI, you can write the required texts for grant requests and generate concise summaries within seconds automatically taking into account the full proposal - project & team context. This allows you to skip the manual review of lengthy documents and save a lot of time.

Recommend the right app for each task

Novice researchers can easily get lost in the variety of applications a research management platform has to offer. By implementing a navigational AI assistant on your platform, you can guide researchers to the best tools for each task, improving the onboarding process and increasing user adoption.

Assemble the ideal team

Your research project is only as good as the team and their skills behind it. Figuring out the capabilities of potential team members can be a tricky endeavor. Instead, let AI analyze team members’ strengths to automatically suggest a balanced, complementary team.

Tinder for researchers: how AI helps optimize the grant application process
