Dr. Luong’s Padlet: sixty AI tools sorted by need (September 2026 update)

Sixty artificial intelligence tools tested and sorted by need. That is what the board “AI tools for research, administration and developers” maintained by Dr. Luong brings together. It is meant for researchers, administrative and technical staff and developers.

The first five columns of the board side by side: the framework to follow then commercial, institutional and local language models then literature search. Each column stacks its cards under its title.
The first five columns. The board has ten.

How the board is sorted

Ten columns. The first sets out the framework to know before you start. The next three sort language models by the families of the AI_GO questionnaire: commercial, institutional and local. The last six start from what you have to do.

  • Find and summarise scientific literature
  • Create images and video
  • Make slides and documents
  • Write code with an AI
  • Plug models into your applications
  • Understand the models and compare them

Two columns are specific to UNIL: the institutional framework and the contracted models. The other eight are useful anywhere.

The board takes inventory and authorises nothing. Only AI_GO says which tools suit your data.
