SummaryA controlled between-subjects study (n=36) comparing Steerable AI Summaries (STAIS) versus manual Note-Taking (NT) as end-of-session consolidation scaffolds in an aggregated academic search interface, across two sessions one week apart. STAIS yielded faster task resumption and broader conceptual coverage; NT produced richer inter-concept connections and higher self-reported certainty.
Why it mattersMethodologically clean study isolating a concrete tradeoff: GenAI-assisted consolidation gains speed and breadth but loses inter-concept depth and learner certainty — directly relevant for anyone building or choosing AI research assistants.
