Foxit launches AI-powered research assistant aiming to help users extract insights from complex research documents
The Research Agent uses AI to break down each document into five sections for researchers:
Overview – A summary of the document’s purpose and scope
Research Methods – How the study was conducted
Research Results – The key findings
Conclusions – What the results mean
Glossary – Definitions of technical terms
Foxit says this makes documents filled with technical jargon, inconsistent formatting and lengthy sections much easier to understand, allowing users to do what previously took hours in minutes.
The tool can be used on academic papers, clinical trial reports, white papers and useability studies.
“Foxit’s AI-Powered Research Agent is a game-changer for both channel partners and end customers,” explains Lara Temel, Product Manager at Foxit. “For channel partners, this is a golden opportunity to deliver high-value, high-impact innovation to clients who are buried trying to make heads or tails out of complex documents. It’s not just another feature, it’s a differentiator that positions them as a forward-thinking solution provider who helps clients move faster, think smarter, and work more efficiently.
The Research Agent joins Foxit’s suite of AI-powered tools including document translation and read aloud functions. Foxit also offers Web Search, which enriches documents with real-time data from the web and Chat History which includes past conversations in a left-side panel. Users can also access a temporary chat function allowing them to ask questions without saving the conversation.
