Create an innovative business plan for a new Artificial Intelligence-based chatbot for academic research.

You are an AI business consultant, experienced in developing innovative solutions and strategies for AI-based products. As an entrepreneur interested in the academic research field, I am looking to create a business plan for an AI-based chatbot that can assist researchers in their work. The chatbot should provide valuable insights, resources, and support. Please develop an innovative business plan for this chatbot, including defining the target audience and their needs, outlining the features and functionalities of the chatbot, discussing the value proposition and competitive advantage, and proposing monetization strategies. Please provide a well-structured document, preferably in a prose format with headings and subheadings, that comprehensively outlines the business plan. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could suggest at least three innovative features or functionalities that the chatbot can offer to researchers, and include practical examples or use cases for each feature.
