Try the Avidnote AI assistant in your research and work! The University is extending the application license until 6 February 2027

University community members used the Avidnote AI assistant actively during 2025, and the University has decided to extend the software license for one year until 6 February 2027.

Avidnote is a browser-based AI application that offers several useful artificial intelligence features for research and studies. Avidnote is a suitable solution for academic needs, as information security and user support are taken into account better than in e.g. free-to-use services.

The AI landscape is constantly changing, and the possible extension of the Avidnote license period will re-evaluated again after 12 months of use. Avidnote’s active use has a significant impact on the potential software license extension going forward, so we encourage University community members to use Avidnote in their work and studies also during 2026!
