Test Keenious – new AI-based search tool

Students and researchers now have access to the AI-based search tool Keenious. Instead of traditional keyword searching, Keenious analyzes articles or your own text using AI. It then presents search results based on the theme of the text.

Using artificial intelligence and advanced search algorithms, Keenious analyzes text from documents and PDFs, and recommends the most relevant articles and topics based on the content.

When using Keenious, you also get access to articles that the University Library subscribes to.

Keenious does not replace traditional search tools like Oria nor subject databases, but can be used as a supplement.

From January 2026, Keenious is available as an add-in in Word for all researchers and students. You can also use Keenious in your web browser.
