The Only 5 Tools You Need to Master for Daily AI Research

Markets down bad? Bored af? Now’s the perfect time to sharpen your edge by mastering these tools to spot the next wave of winners when the market heats up again.

These are the tools I check daily to stay on top of the AI agent scene:

1. Cookie's Dashboard

Created by @cookiedotfun, this is the ultimate AI agent dashboard for tracking everything that matters:
- Mindshare
- Price
- Valuation
- Holder stats
- Trends, and more.

The latest v0.4 update added some 🔥 features like:
- Real-time trading view
- In-platform swaps (with $COOKIE burn fees)
- Exclusive $COOKIE-gated features
I’ve had 10,000 $COOKIE locked since last December. It’s the first thing I open every day to get a clear market overview.

2. AI Agent Toolkit

Curated by @chandan1_, this toolkit is a goldmine of AI agent frameworks, launchpads, tools, tutorials, and resources—perfect for developers and investors.
If it’s relevant to the AI agent space, it’s here. Literally.

3. Goat Index AI

For Solana AI Hackathon projects, @GoatIndexAI is unmatched. Their dashboard covers mindshare, price, and GitHub score (powered by @soleng_agent).

You can easily filter projects by:
- Tokenized or not
- Launch stage: upcoming, just launched, etc.

Plus, they’re adding sections for AI Index, Trading Signals, and a Goat Fund soon. TGE for Goat coming next week.

Beyond dashboards, DecentralisedCo is known for solid research and podcasts featuring founders like @keoneHD, @tn_pendle, and @sreeramkannan.
