Empowering higher education students with AI
We’ve launched our AI Study Assistant on Business, Politics, and Science Trove, following the successful launch of the tool on Law Trove in October 2025.
This means that all our Trove platforms now offer students enhanced functionality through AI to increase their efficiency when studying by helping them to find and engage with relevant content.
Troves—in business, law, politics, and science—offer discipline-specific collections of higher education textbooks from across our market-leading lists. Rolling out the AI Study Assistant more widely means that students from these disciplines can generate accurate summaries, authoritative answers, and targeted quizzes to support understanding, revision, and exam preparation. Moreover, responses and quizzes generated by the assistant only draw from our trusted textbook content, guaranteeing that students are accessing reliable source material.
Building on the Law Trove AI Study Assistant
To expand the tool across our other Trove platforms, we further developed the assistant to meet user needs for Science Trove.
As with Law Trove, we have taken a conscientious approach to embedding AI into Business, Politics, and Science Trove by empowering users to develop the skills they need to apply critical thinking to their use of AI not just academically, but for their future careers through the specialized module on AI literacy. The module is available for all Trove users and covers generative AI fundamentals, academic integrity, critical thinking, and effective prompting, so users can use the AI Study Assistant responsibly and with confidence.
Shaped through user testing with lecturers and students, the tool has been designed with real teaching and learning needs at its heart, ensuring that Trove stands at the forefront of combining innovative technology with high-quality educative resources for higher education institutions and students.
We look forward to hearing how students interact with the tool across Trove in the new academic year and beyond. You can learn more about the development of the AI Study Assistant and the positive reception it has had on Law Trove here.
