AI tooling is expanding rapidly, but developers and technical users don't necessarily need dozens of disconnected tools.
A better approach is to build a workflow around specific tasks.
The Campus Review's Free AI Toolkit provides a starting point by collecting several widely used AI tools across different use cases.
For developers, GitHub Copilot can be explored as a coding assistant. For general AI interaction and problem exploration, tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are relevant. Perplexity can support research workflows, while Notion and NotebookLM can help organize and work with information.
Other tools in the toolkit address writing, design, transcription, and learning.
The important engineering principle is still the same: validate the output.
AI-generated code should be reviewed and tested. AI-generated technical information should be checked against documentation and reliable sources. Sensitive information should not be entered into tools without understanding their privacy implications.
AI is most useful when it improves the workflow without removing technical judgment.
