AI tools i actually use as a busy college student

Most lists online feel like they’re made for people with way time than i have. between classes, deadlines, and everything else, i just stick to a few that actually help me get things done faster perplexity - this replaced google for me most of the time. way easier to get straight answers with sources when i’m trying to understand a topic or find references for a paper explainpaper - i use this when i run into research papers that are just hard to read. saves time breaking things down instead of rereading the same paragraph over and over gamma - mainly for presentations.
