Emphasizing the integration of the responsible use of this technology into research and learning.
An academic artificial intelligence (AI) platform Jenni AI is launching its suite of research-focused tools to help students and researchers verify claims, check sources and assess draft quality.
Called Reviews, the suite aims to address the two common concerns around AI writing tools in academia.
The first tool is Claim Confidence, which verifies every source and claim in a draft, with the said tool flagging anything misrepresented or unverified and suggesting citations where support is missing.
This is a direct response to the fabricated-reference problem that has dogged general-purpose AI tools in research settings.
Meanwhile, Peer Review assesses a paper using a standardised rubric, leaving comments on strengths and weaknesses before it reaches a journal.
Justin Wong, Head of Commercial Operations at Jenni AI, noted that they oftentimes heard from members of the faculty in the Philippines that AI is bad.
“The objection we hear from Philippine faculty is never ‘AI is bad’. It’s ‘can I trust what it produced and are the sources AI is referencing real?’,” he said.
Thus, Wong told, “Claim Confidence exists because that’s a fair question. If a tool puts a citation in your paper, it should be able to show you the source and tell you when it can’t.“
Jenni AI is a U.S.-based AI workspace and writing assistant built for academic research, used by more than 6.5 million students, researchers and academics worldwide.
The platform works within a user’s own library of uploaded papers, with Jenni AI integrating with reference managers including Zotero and Mendeley and links generated text back to its sources, to allow drafting to stay grounded in the literature it draws from.
The launch comes as Philippine higher education institutions are continually exploring how AI can be integrated responsibly into research and learning, with some having inked agreements with the platform.
Included in the said list of HEIs are Mapúa University, the University of Santo Tomas, Cebu Technological University, Central Philippine University, Holy Angel University, and Laguna State Polytechnic University. The De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, meanwhile, has renewed its agreement.
The rollout also builds on the platform’s AI Declaration command, which inserts a formal acknowledgement of AI use into a paper. The company says more than 100 published papers have already used it.
This focus on verification and transparency comes as Philippine higher education moves towards more structured approaches to AI use.
Earlier this year, the Commission on Higher Education started drafting an AI Policy in Education, which is focused on responsible integration.
Meanwhile, a recent research by Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM 2) also found that higher education institutions are already introducing measures around academic integrity, assessment design and AI literacy, alongside the use of AI to support teaching and research.
For Jenni AI, it told, “these developments reflect a broader shift in the conversation from whether AI should be used in academic work to how it can support learning and research while keeping students and researchers responsible for the thinking, evidence and final output.”
