This Is Not Just Another AI Blog

The internet doesn’t lack AI tutorials. What’s missing is content written by someone who actually uses AI in real research.

I’m an assistant professor in biotechnology and co-founder of a biotech company. My daily work spans the lab, the classroom, and the code editor. Three years ago I started using AI tools for research; a year ago I started building my own automation pipelines.

This Grimoire documents that journey.

Why “Grimoire”?

A grimoire is a medieval book of magic — a manuscript of spells, formulas, and rituals.

For modern researchers, AI tools are spells. Know how to use them, and you can digest a Nature paper in 30 minutes. Don’t, and it’s just a chatbot.

The difference is methodology.

What You’ll Find Here

Three pillars:

1. AI Tool Reviews — Not regurgitated docs, but honest reviews from real research scenarios. If it works, I’ll say so. If it doesn’t, I’ll say that too.

2. Literature Deep Dives — Curated from my 4000+ paper library. Grasp the essentials of a field in 10 minutes.

3. Research Automation — From literature monitoring to knowledge graphs, from data analysis to report generation. Step by step.

Why Anonymous?

Because the point isn’t who I am — it’s whether these methods help you.

My academic background and industry experience will show in the depth and practicality of the content. If you read an article and think “this person actually knows what they’re talking about,” that’s enough.
