Pivot Funding Database Now Includes AI Features

Posted on by

Pivot, a funding opportunities database available through the Library, includes new AI-powered features: 

  • Semantic Search – AI-powered natural language searching available in the Advanced Search interface. The search is less precise, but it may uncover relevant opportunities not found using traditional search methods. 
  • AI-Generated Titles and Summaries – Found within a funding opportunity entry, these items improve discovery and review by providing additional context and description. The Advanced Search interface now defaults to also searching the AI-Generated summaries. 

For more information on the integration of AI into other Library tools, see the Artificial Intelligence Guide.
