Hi all,

We use EDS for our discovery layer. With the AI tools changing from opt-in to opt-out very soon, I was wondering if anyone had an experience opting in to any of the tools (AI- assisted search, Ask this Document, AI Conversational Search, and so on).

I would love to hear any positive or negative experiences/feedback from students, faculty, and admin. Are you finding them helpful or not?

I've manually turned them off for now, but I'd be really interested to hear what others have seen in practice and whether you've found them worth enabling.

Thanks,
