“AI Assistant is useful for organising information by categorising key points and structuring assignments logically, making the writing process more streamlined.”
Veer Gosai, a second-year BSc Geoinformatics with Computer Science student at Stellenbosch University, used to spend countless hours sifting through dense academic readings, trying to extract key information from dense PDFs.
The challenge of studying complex academic texts
For Veer, university-level coursework often meant dealing with hundreds of pages of theoretical notes, particularly in his Computer Science and Socio Informatics modules. Manually summarising, taking notes, and trying to pinpoint key concepts was not just exhausting but also inefficient.
Why would any student continue to study this way when there is a ready solution in Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant?
“Interacting with lengthy PDFs from my university can be challenging,” he explains. “Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant has made it easier to understand large theory documents, saving time.”
A game changer for studying and research!
Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant has fundamentally changed the way Veer approaches his studies. Instead of spending precious hours summarising texts and bleeding out his highlighter pens, he now uses the AI tool to generate concise summaries of chapters, isolating core ideas from large theory-based documents.
“Before using AI Assistant, summarising and analysing academic texts involved manual reading, note-taking, and highlighting key points,” he says. “The AI Assistant automated these tasks, making the process faster and more efficient.”
For a recent test, he created a PDF and uploaded his first two weeks’ worth of Socio Informatics notes, and Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant instantly gave him a structured breakdown of the material, making revision far more manageable.
“The subject is very much theory-based. Being an individual who needs to practice, I struggle to read large amounts of theory notes before an exam or weekly tutorial test. The assistant summarised my notes so I could prepare better for my Tutorial test this week.”
So easy to handle mountains of data
One of the biggest advantages has been the AI Assistant’s ability to compare documents, allowing Veer to identify relevant content while eliminating unnecessary information quickly.
“Extracting key themes and comparing documents side by side helps me study much faster,” he shares. “Studying for exams can require reading hundreds of pages of notes, a lot of which contain pointless content. The AI can isolate what’s not relevant.”
Whether he is working through programming theory or structuring a research paper, the AI Assistant guarantees that Veer stays focused on what matters. This newfound efficiency is a refreshing change from old methods of study. It has boosted his confidence, making him feel more capable of managing large volumes of information without the usual stress.
It’s even helped him stay on track. “AI Assistant is useful for organising information by categorising key points and structuring assignments logically, making the writing process more streamlined. Sometimes, I forget and lose track of important content.”
Looking ahead
Ever the innovative student, Veer sees even greater potential for the tool. While it has already vastly changed how he interacts with his course material, he hopes for deeper integration with other platforms.
“I would like to see integration of the AI in other applications such as Microsoft Word or even a code editor to assist when building applications or websites,” he suggests.
With the growing demand for AI-assisted learning, Veer is living proof that tools like Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant pave the way for smarter, more effective study techniques.
As soon as he graduates, Veer and countless other graduates will hit the job market. The working world is waiting for digitally-ready knowledge workers who are dynamic and adaptable.
They will get one with Veer.
For students like him, this is more than just a convenience. It’s a complete shift in how they learn, process, and retain information.
