What are tools for your AI assistant?

Read this in context on the homepage →

'Tools' provide context to your AI that informs and guides its answer.

How do tools work?

When you make a request, either in a chat, or through a Dashboard action button, your assistant reads the tool definitions and loads the right one for the job.

Tools only ever react to requests. They never make requests
Tools cannot tell your AI assistant how to behave

Tools describe processes that your AI can follow. Tools also provide data interfaces that your AI can use to save and load information.

Tools can suggest detailed methods for data extraction, interpretation and storage. They can define when to read back that information and how to use it.

How do I use the tools?

You use the tools by asking Claude or ChatGPT to 'Use Develop21 tools to...'

'...update my career profile'
'...plan my job search'
'...run my saved searches'
'...review my fit for the [Company] role'
'...tailor my resume for the [Company] role'
'...help me write my cover letter for the [Company] role'

Or drive using the Dashboard

Tools, plugins, skills, and MCP servers..?

Easy one first - a plugin is a skill working with an MCP server.

The Develop21 Plugin combines the skill and MCP connector into one installation.

A tool is one of many processes that a plugin might offer.

Develop21 currently offers 23 different tools for your AI assistant to use in distinct scenarios.

Skills tell your AI how to do something. It is the orchestrator.

A skill is static, the same for each user
It describes the tools and tells your AI how to use them

MCP servers speak 'model context protocol' - a language designed to be used by AI.

When your skill tells your AI to use a tool, it loads the tool from an MCP server
MCP servers provide dynamic context in reply to each tool request
This data and knowledge is context specific to you and tells your AI how to perform a task
