At this time, the Research Assistant cannot search Purdue's local physical collections or its archival collections. This feature should be coming in a future update.
The Research Assistant also does not yet support follow-up questions. Each question stands by itself. For example, if you ask “What topics did Simone de Beauvoir write about”, you cannot follow up by asking “and what is the philosophy of her work” and expect the system to understand what you mean. At this time, you will have to include all relevant information in each question, e.g. “what is the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir’s work”?
