Introducing Goblin Tools - the friendly AI-powered life and task management tool for the rest of us
Thanks to the rise of our future AI overlords, we have Goblin Tools: an app that offers to turn the chaos inside your head into an ordered plan of action, make your writing stand out, check your writing sounds professional, friendly and engaging, and will even help you turn whatever random ingredients you find in your kitchen into something fit to eat. Discovering this was one of those rare moments where I knew I had found something I didn't know I needed in my life before, something I now would never want to be without.
From breaking down a brain dump into a project plan with bitesize tasks and then feeding yourself those tasks one at a time to help you focus better and get more done, estimating how long something might take to finish, checking the tone of writing, weighing up decisions, or simply suggesting recipes based on the ingredients you have available, Goblin Tools is your comprehensive personal AI assistant.

We fully support new mothers who choose to breastfeed their babies in public, but for those who want an enclosed, private space instead, these pods in the Library and Richmond Building are designed to make work and study across campus a little easier.
