ChatGPT is a general chatbot. Sciente is a specialised AI agent for the research workflow: research responses can use sources from databases (PubMed, Crossref, DOAJ, Wiley, bioRxiv, medRxiv, J-STAGE and an open-access journal archive), citation graphs and evidence-based tools. Authors must verify the presence and accuracy of sources and conclusions; routine questions about settings or balance do not need scientific references, and searches do not always find suitable publications. Choose the tool for the task and verify research results regardless of the platform.
