Welcome to HowSo’s AI development site.

We invited you here to test out AI tools we’re developing to help the research community. We will continue to leverage AI to offer a range of learning & development and project-related tools for the qualitative research community.

The links below are to custom GPTs, built (for now) through ChatGPT. You’ll need a ChatGPT account — even a free one — to use them.

All we ask is that after you try them out, share feedback. All we see is the number of conversations started… not who, when or especially what was entered or generated.
