Find a useful starting point for research, building, writing, or creating. Pick a task first, then choose the tool.
A browser notebook for Python experiments. Start with a simple baseline, then add complexity only if it improves your test result.
Try this: Train a small classifier and publish the notebook with its dataset and random seed.
Explore Google ColabExplore model cards, datasets, and small interactive demos. Open weights do not automatically mean unrestricted use.
Try this: Compare the intended use and license of two models for the same task.
Explore Hugging Face
A workspace for experimenting with Google’s generative models and multimodal inputs.
Try this: Evaluate the same prompt against a fixed set of cases and record failures.
Explore Google AI Studio
A language assistant for drafting, coding, and analyzing documents. Check quotes and cited evidence against the original source.
Try this: Ask it to critique a methods section, then review every suggestion yourself.
Explore Claude
A conversational tool for exploring ideas, drafting explanations, and helping with code. Outputs need independent verification.
Try this: Use it to propose edge cases for a project, then run the tests.
Explore ChatGPTA reference manager that organizes papers, notes, and bibliographies. It helps make a publication’s evidence traceable.
Try this: Build a five-paper library and attach a one-paragraph methods note to each.
Explore ZoteroSearch biomedical literature, including publication metadata and links to available full text.
Try this: Compare a review paper with the original studies it cites.
Explore PubMed
A research service for predicting biomolecular structures with AlphaFold 3. Review the service’s current access terms.
Try this: Explore a public example and inspect confidence, not only the rendered structure.
Explore AlphaFold ServerA Python toolkit for classical machine learning, preprocessing, and evaluation. Small, interpretable baselines are often valuable.
Try this: Compare logistic regression with a tree using the same train/test split.
Explore scikit-learnTools for on-device perception, including hand gestures and pose landmarks. Camera quality affects performance.
Try this: Try SurfAI’s gesture lab and document failures across lighting conditions.
Explore MediaPipe
Workspace assistance for organizing, finding, and drafting information. Keep primary evidence linked to each research note.
Try this: Turn a paper-reading session into a structured evidence table.
Explore Notion AI
An audio and video editing workspace for turning explanations into shareable educational material.
Try this: Edit a two-minute explanation of a paper and include an accessible transcript.
