goblin.tools is a collection of small, simple, single-task ai-powered tools, which have been designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult such as planning and organising.
The tools include:
Magic ToDo which breaks a task down into simpler steps. This is useful for neurodivergent students who can use it to make tasks less overwhelming and more manageable. This would also be handy to demonstrate Decomposition in computing lessons, chunking a task down into smaller steps.
Formalizer can help take your text and turn it into more formal versions, or formal text into informal text to make it easier to understand. The overall content will stay the same, just the tone will change.
Judge allows you to figure out what the tone of a piece of text is. You can use it to judge the tone of messages sent to you, but also check your messages before you send them.
Estimator will give you a good idea of how long a task will *actually* take. It’s not perfect, but will try to give a rough estimate.
Compiler lets you compile a brain dump of things to do into a proper list of tasks.
And finally, Chef allows you to write down the ingredients you have available, plus any dietary constraints, and it will suggest things to cook.
It looks like a really useful set of tools. If you teach any children with autism and/or ADHDthen it could be a useful website to make them aware of.
Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. The AI models used are general-purpose models, so the accuracy of their output can vary. Nothing returned by any of the tools should be taken as a statement of truth, only guesswork. Please use your own knowledge and experience to judge whether the result you get is valid.
goblin.tools is offered free and available to all. The aim is that it will stay free without ads or paywalls. Mobile apps of the tools are offered at a low price (on Android and iOS), which will help cover the running and maintenance costs so the website can stay completely free.
