Achademio - an AI-based assistant for improving your research papers

AI assistant, based on the GPT-3.5 model by OpenAI, is designed to enhance your proficiency in writing research papers. It allows you to adapt your content to academic standards, transform bullet points into eloquent text, or enhance the quality of your writing through error detection.

The web interface offers a range of functionalities, empowering you to accomplish the following:

• Academic Style Rewriting: you can conveniently invoke the assistant to improve the style of your text by rewriting it in an academic style. Simply execute the program by pressing CTRL+Enter.
• Academic Paragraph Generation: By selecting this option from the drop-down menu, you can effortlessly convert your bullet point lists into cohesive academic paragraphs.
• Proofreading: By selecting this option from the drop-down menu, you invoke the AI assistant to identify and highlight potential errors, enabling you to rectify and refine their work.

The model has a limitation of how many words it can process at once. Therefore, it is advisable to input shorter text sequences at a time to optimize its performance.

This program requires an OpenAPI key and some basic programming skills (to install the Streamlit python library and execute the program through the command line.) More detailed instructions for setup and utilization are provided below.

Use

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install streamlit: pip install streamlit install pip-run --user, and openai: pip install openai
3. Create an OpenAI account to get a API key (see https://elephas.app/blog/how-to-create-openai-api-keys-cl5c4f21d281431po7k8fgyol0). Save the API key in line 5 of achademio.py or in a separate file, named API_key (make sure that you do not share it with anyone).
4. Run the streamlit python script in the command line with the following command: python -m streamlit run achademio.py
5. A website will open in your browser where you can use the Achademio bot to improve your academic texts.

Costs

New users of the OpenAPI key are granted a complimentary $18 credit, so the initial utilization of the model comes at no expense to you. After this amount is spent, the usage of the program is based on the cost of GPT-3.5 model, which is $0.0015/1K tokens for input and $0.002/1K tokens for model's output. You can track your expenses in the Manage account menu item under Personal at https://platform.openai.com/. The costs are very affordable: if you would input to the AI assistant 1,000 words (approximately 2 pages), the total expense would amount to less than $4.

Please note

Please note that the results are based on a generative language model and require careful consideration before being used -- make sure to read all outputs carefully and use common sense when making use of them. If your initial text is hard to understand or contains many errors, the model might interpret the text incorrectly, so always check whether your statement still holds. It could also happen that the generated text would omit negation and by that change the meaning of the sentence, so make sure to check the output before using it.

The assistant should be used for improving the style of the text that you have written by yourself and verified facts based on trusted sources, and not for generating new statements (please consider that big blocks of generated text might come from a published work and using them without citing the work would be plagiarism).
