🕸️ Article Values Graph™ App AI tool Web only

A tool you run. Most apps work in the browser and upload nothing.

Maps the ideas inside any article as a concept graph, then grades what the writing is worth on nine measures — evidence, originality, whether the argument holds up, ranting and filler. A value detector, not an AI detector. Every grade is backed by quotes, sources are verified, and all methods and scoring changes are published.

🎚️ AVPrep™ App Non-AI tool Web only

A tool you run. Most apps work in the browser and upload nothing.

Audio and video prep bench. Converts between MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV, GIF, MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG and Opus; shrinks a file to a target size by working back from its duration to a bitrate, re-encoding again if the first pass overshoots; and reads or rewrites metadata, including a one-click strip of every tag before publishing. Tag writing copies the streams through untouched, so quality is unchanged. The Images tab strips location, camera, serial numbers and AI prompts from JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and SVG in bulk without re-encoding, or stamps your author and copyright into them. Runs in the browser, nothing is uploaded.
