As we navigate the heated debates about the role of AI in research, balancing speed with integrity, this section isn't about presenting a "best tools" list. Instead, it's a diary of our journey - sharing our experiments with AI tools in research, not as recommendations, but as shared experiences. Here we critically evaluate the role of AI, not just embracing the technology for its own sake, but understanding its impact on enhancing research.

Our aim is to provide insight into how AI can enhance the research process, without claiming to be a comprehensive or recommended toolkit. This space is dedicated to exploring the opportunities and pitfalls of AI in research, reflecting our ongoing exploration and inherent trial and error.
