Research Tools I Created
Two AI-powered tools built from first-hand experience of the research process in a busy clinical academic environment.
ResBot.ai
An AI-powered clinical research assistant designed to accelerate literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and academic writing for clinicians and researchers. Built because the gap between what we know and what reaches the bedside was impossible to ignore.
