Check out Ask Chron, an AI-powered chatbot, that was just launched by The Chronicle of Higher Education. “Chron will reply with an answer derived from more than 130,000 news articles and opinion pieces in The Chronicle’s digital archive. Each response includes links to the Chronicle articles that the bot used to develop its answers.” At this point, it is experimental and in the beta stage so they are looking for feedback to refine their model. Great tool to add to your AI resources.
