AI without tools is like a surgeon without instruments
The difference between basic AI and professional AI isn't the model—it's the tools. Discover 5 essential toolkits that transform AI from a chatbot into a powerful professional assistant capable of real-world tasks.
Unlock Professional AI ToolsAI should not be doing everything alone
See a clear example of the problem with letting AI do everything by itself
Is basic arithmetic error acceptable in your personal and professional life?
Of course not. Yet Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Claude Opus 4.1, ChatGPT 5.1, Grok 4, and Copilot ALL fail at a calculation as simple as:
AI is a probabilistic model—it guesses instead of calculating. Even the most advanced LLMs make critical errors in arithmetic, dates, data analysis, and logic.
In Tess, the LLM orchestrates, the tool executes
The LLM identifies when a calculation is needed and calls our Virtual Machine tool. The tool downloads a Python arithmetic library, executes the calculation, and returns the 100% accurate result. The LLM only communicates the answer—the tool guarantees precision every single time.
The tool is responsible for precision—not the LLM. This architectural choice makes all the difference in reliability and ROI.
Professional AI tools that transform how you work
Discover all the professional tools available in Tess and see how they can impact your work
Agentic Search
In Tess, you can set how many searches an AI can perform with a single prompt—ranging from 1 to 25 searches, generating up to 500 results analyzed by the LLM in a single prompt. Agentic search is the most advanced search capability available, alongside Deep Research tools. Unlike ChatGPT's search, all searches in Tess are powered by Google.
The user controls search quality, result reading, and response by choosing the desired LLM for each task. Quality varies significantly by LLM—allowing users to have favorite models for each type of search, further optimizing overall results.
Knowledge Base
Upload documents, PDFs, and files to create a custom knowledge base. Each file you upload is automatically vectorized for intelligent semantic search. Vectorized search quality varies dramatically by model—allowing you to choose the best AI for each type of document.
Tess's interactive multimodality enables up to 2x better average search quality in your documents! AI can search, retrieve, and reference your proprietary information with unprecedented precision.
GPT 5.1 Search
If you love GPT search, don't worry. We've integrated with OpenAI's API so you can continue doing your searches within Tess—but with a huge advantage! In Tess, you can set the number of searches per prompt and use the GPT 5.1 search tool with any LLM that supports function calling.
That means you can have Claude 4.5 perform searches using GPT 5.1 as the search tool! This model collaboration produces even better results.
Deep Research
If you're used to using Deep Research, in Tess we've integrated with the official Deep Research API, so you can experience the same quality directly from Tess! Execute comprehensive multi-step research with advanced analysis and synthesis capabilities.
Deep Research combines multiple search queries, analyzes complex topics from various angles, and delivers thorough reports—all within your Tess workspace.
Social Network
Search across the world's major social networks in real-time. Access trending topics, public conversations, and social insights from platforms like Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and more.
Monitor brand mentions, track viral content, analyze sentiment, and discover what people are really saying across social media—all through AI-powered search.
Academic
Access peer-reviewed research, scientific papers, and academic databases. Search through millions of scholarly articles, citations, and research publications from trusted academic sources.
Perfect for researchers, students, and professionals who need verified, credible information backed by scientific evidence and academic rigor.
Virtual Machine
Think of this as giving the AI its own computer within your computer. Just like you can install programs, run software, and execute tasks on your machine, Tess can do the same in a completely isolated virtual environment. This means AI can install Python libraries, run complex calculations, process data files, and execute multi-step programming tasks—all with 100% accuracy because it's actual code execution, not guesswork.
Why it matters: When you need precision—whether calculating financial projections, analyzing datasets, or automating repetitive tasks—the Virtual Machine guarantees results are mathematically perfect every single time. No more 'close enough' AI answers.
Sandbox Environment
A sandbox is a completely safe, isolated space where AI can experiment, test, and run code without any risk to your actual data or systems. It's like having a playground where Tess can try things, make mistakes, and learn—all without consequences. Whether testing new code, running untrusted scripts, or exploring solutions, the sandbox keeps everything contained and secure.
Why it matters: Safety and security are critical. With a sandbox, you can let AI execute powerful operations—data transformations, script testing, or system simulations—knowing that even if something goes wrong, your real environment stays completely protected.
Publish Your Pages: Create websites, apps, and interactive experiences with AI, then publish them directly on Tess with your own domain at yourname.tess.page—currently free! Turn your ideas into live, shareable pages in minutes, all hosted securely within Tess.
Code Execution
This is where AI goes from 'talking about it' to 'actually doing it.' Instead of just suggesting Python code or showing you a calculation, Tess can execute the code directly and return real results. Need to process a CSV with 10,000 rows? Run a statistical analysis? Generate a report from raw data? Tess writes the code and runs it instantly—delivering accurate output in seconds.
Why it matters: Professionals don't need explanations—they need results. Code execution transforms AI from a consultant into a coworker who actually gets things done. You save hours of manual work by letting Tess handle data processing, automation, and complex calculations directly.
File System Management
AI can read, write, edit, organize, and delete files—just like you would on your own computer. Need to read a report, extract specific sections, update values, or create a new document? Tess handles it all. This includes listing files in directories, reading their contents, writing new files, making edits to existing ones, and cleaning up when needed.
Why it matters: Most professional work involves files—documents, spreadsheets, reports, logs, scripts. With file system tools, AI becomes your personal assistant who can navigate your workspace, extract information, make updates, and organize everything automatically. It's like having someone who actually understands file structure and can work independently across your entire project.
Document Processing
Transform any file format into clean, structured text that AI can understand and work with. Whether it's a PDF report, a Word document, a PowerPoint presentation, or a scanned image—Tess can extract the content, interpret it, and make it actionable. This also includes creating new documents like PowerPoint presentations from scratch based on your requirements.
Why it matters: In the real world, information comes in many formats—contracts, invoices, presentations, manuals. Document processing means you can ask Tess to 'read this 50-page PDF and summarize the key risks,' or 'create a 10-slide presentation from this research report,' and it actually does it. No more manual copy-pasting or reformatting—just instant document intelligence.
Web Automation
Tess can open a real web browser, navigate to websites, interact with pages (clicking buttons, filling forms, scrolling), extract information, take screenshots, and scrape content—all automatically. It's like having a virtual assistant who can actually browse the web for you, interact with online tools, and gather information from any website.
Why it matters: Many professional tasks require accessing websites—checking competitor prices, monitoring dashboards, filling out forms, or gathering public data. With web automation, you can say 'Go to this website and extract all product prices,' or 'Fill out this form with these details,' and Tess handles it like a human would—but faster, more accurately, and without getting tired.
