Adobe on Monday announced a new student-focused discount for Acrobat AI Assistant, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for the Acrobat platform. It was first introduced for all users in April, but now the company is offering it for students at an affordable price. AI chatbot can process any compatible document and answer questions based on it. It can also summarize documents to present an overview of the topic. The AI assistant is available on mobile and desktop apps as well as a web client.
Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant Student Scheme Announced
In a blog post, the software giant announced that students can purchase the AI Assistant add-on for Acrobat at a price of $1.99 (approximately Rs 166) per month. Notably, the normal subscription costs $4.99 (approximately Rs 417) per month. Announcing the new pricing, the company said the affordable subscription will help students access AI to easily retrieve information from course studies, articles, lecture notes, research papers and supplemental materials.
The AI assistant in Acrobat can perform many tasks. Chatbots can summarize documents into outlines, making it easy to glance at important points and saving valuable time. Chatbots can also present information in simple language and provide bullet points.
One interesting feature of AI chatbots is Intelligent Citations. It can provide clickable attributes for its responses that lead to source paragraphs and sentences in the document. This way, students can easily verify the information and avoid any instances of AI hallucination.
The AI assistant is also capable of processing multiple files of different types. So, a student can upload a PDF file, a Word document, and a PowerPoint presentation and the chatbot can assimilate the information across the three sources to generate comprehensive insights. Acrobat’s file conversation feature also eliminates the need to convert different file formats at one time.
Additionally, the company said that a new two-way voice interaction feature is being developed that will allow students to verbally communicate with the AI assistant. This way, students can use Acrobat to study on the go.
