Digital Science Acquires Jenni AI to Expand Its AI-Powered Research Tools

UK-based Digital Science, a company that provides data, tools and technology for researchers, has acquired Jenni AI, an AI-powered platform used by more than 8 million students and researchers across 189 countries.

Jenni AI helps students and researchers with their writing, from the first idea to the final draft. Users can upload research papers, import reference lists, explore useful sources and organise their information.

The platform also helps users write and improve their content and check whether their citations match the original research sources.

Following the acquisition, Jenni AI plans to improve its platform using Digital Science's research data. It will start by integrating Dimensions, which provides access to a database of 171 million research publications. This will help users find, understand and cite academic research more easily.

According to Stephen Leicht, CEO of Digital Science, researchers already use AI as a matter of routine.

What they can’t get from a general-purpose tool is a citation that has been checked against the actual paper.

“Jenni AI has built an experience millions of students and researchers choose, often from the very beginning of their careers. Inside Digital Science, every source it suggests can be verified against Dimensions and its 171 million publications, and that stays true as their work grows from a first thesis chapter to a funded lab. We’re glad to have David, Marc, Shailesh and the team with us.”

Jenni AI joins Digital Science’s existing research tools, including Overleaf, Papers AI and ReadCube. The acquisition also helps the company connect directly with PhD and master's students early in their academic careers and support them as their research develops.

David Park, CEO of Jenni AI, said: “We started Jenni with the belief that the future is written with AI, not by AI. We built Jenni to empower researchers to explore their curiosity and publish great work. By joining Digital Science, we're taking a major step toward a future where every researcher has access to the knowledge, tools, and confidence to push the boundaries of human discovery.”

Jenni AI will continue operating as a separate product under its existing name, keeping the same team, prices and subscription plans.
