5 AI toolsof the week

Text, design, data / knowledge, research and agents: one tool each, checked for value, cost and data protection.

This week AI becomes valuable where an answer turns into an editable and verifiable work result. Claude Docs makes documents the context of a conversation, Arrow 2 delivers editable SVGs and Jev translates uncertainty into structured software decisions. Sakana Marlin leads from research results back to the sources, while Octop brings agents onto your own infrastructure. Data residency, approval rights, cost limits and the ability not only to generate results but also to check them remain decisive.

This issue dates from before the English edition launched in October 2026. Summaries and short descriptions are translated; the detailed reviews are available in German. Detailed review in German →
