About my tooling

about the tooling that I use to do research, be that custom thing, nifty things that are already out there, or things that I plan on building one day to make the work that much easier

Search Engines

1. my main search engine is Startpage

2. my secondary search engine is DuckDuckGo

3. I also use Google a lot

4. I use SearX and SearXNG too

5. I use Kagi when I can

Large Language Models:

I primarily use Gemini as my large language model as I get it in combination with my google workspace plan and it has a lot of really low prices really high quality features. Built on top of Gemini is NotebookLM

Other tools that I use:

• Google Alerts

• Hacker News

• and various rss/atom feed aggregator apps

I will add more as I continue to upload my research to this site
