Top 5 AI Tools for PhD Students 📚

Ever since I started my PhD journey, I’ve leaned on a handful of AI companions that keep my research and sanity intact.

Here are the top 5 AI tools I use daily as a PhD student 👇

1️⃣ SciSpace: My research paper-hunting wizard for any question/idea/current science trend - it answers on demand. Along with this, as you upload a 20-page methods section, you have a concise summary and answers to your burning questions in seconds. Suddenly, the literature review felt more like a treasure hunt than a slog.

2️⃣ Napkin.ai: During a Summer school recently, a last-minute addition in my presentation felt too much work, so I came across this fast-track tool, which turns bullet points/paragraphs into clear, beautiful workflows - in a flash.⚡️

3️⃣ Perplexity: My go-to for every deep research answer - fills in all the gaps that I missed while sleeping during my college lectures. It is also a perfect tool for getting references for your scientific report/manuscript.

4️⃣ Grammarly AI: Coming from a non-English background, I have always struggled with writing grammatically correct phrases in long essays. Grammarly not just helps you to rephrase and correct your sentences, but learn while you write, as well - it taught me punctuation and flow as I write.

5️⃣ Claude AI: Being a bioinformatician, writing reproducible and clean code is a daily task for me. Claude helps me ship clean, reproducible scripts when time’s tight.

Bonus: When I’m off-duty, eating, sleeping, you name it - I still have ChatGPT on speed-dial. 💯
