Completing the same information over and over again in questionnaires and project applications is a familiar frustration across education and research institutions. With EXPATS (Explainable Autofill for Trustworthy Surveys), PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts has developed an AI-powered tool that significantly simplifies this process.
