Other Products & Tools
Ithaka S+R - Product Tracker
The Generative AI Product Tracker lists generative AI products that are either marketed specifically towards postsecondary faculty or students or appear to be actively in use by postsecondary faculty or students for teaching, learning, or research activities. The Tracker is a living document, which is updated regularly as new products enter the market or new information about existing products becomes available. Brandeis may not have access to all of these products, however the list is comprehensive and has a lot of free access software and websites listed.
