Keenious on trial use in University of Oulu!
Keenious is an AI-based tool that allows you to search for similar or related articles based on either an article or written text. The AI analyses the downloaded article, a link to the article, a selected passage from the article or a written text and recommends similar or related content. Keenious runs in either a web browser or Word application.

Keenious is a versatile tool for mapping research. Unlike most common information retrieval methods, it is not based on inventing keywords, but on analysing the text you already know or the text you write yourself and based on this analysis by AI. Thus, Keenious is useful at least for the following purposes:
- Finding ideas for an essay or article
- Finding and learning new concepts related to your text
- Finding sources related to your essay or article, or completing a criticality list
- Identifying key research and researchers on a topic or in a discipline
- Promoting interdisciplinarity in your research or thesis
- Finding articles or books similar to the source you are using
- As the links from search results lead to Oula-Finna, the journals licenced for University of Oulu are used effectively
Keenious is available on the University of Oulu network without registration and remotely by registering with your University of Oulu email address. The trial run of Keenious will continue for 12 months.
We hope to receive feedback on the trial use at elele@oulu.fi. The collected feedback of the trial affects the acquisition decision of the tool.
