Carlo Rolland (ID: 000000a5d951745e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2023 Copilot cuts down my overall research time by half, by giving me useful insights from large and complex papers.

Rob Michael (ID: 000000cd5ac7595a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 Brilliant tool! As a computer science student who has to read new research papers almost every week, Copilot has been a life-saver. However, one drawback is Copilot's occasional lack of citations, leaving gaps in the referenced material, which makes finding specific content within the papers challenging. Hope this gets fixed soon.
