The assistant will answer questions via chat, summarise content and also understand scientific jargon thanks to AI models specially tailored to libraries and research. The joint project &#8222;LibraryAI&#8220; is being funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a period of three years with more than one million euros and will begin in December 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"part\" data-startline=\"30\" data-endline=\"30\">&#8222;The project offers a promising opportunity to support researchers in their work.
