Hi, I’m Siqiang

I’m a developer and tech professional based in China. I’ve been working with AI tools since the early days of GPT-3, and I’ve tested hundreds of AI products across writing, coding, design, and productivity.

Why I Started This Site

The AI tools space is noisy. Every week there’s a new “revolutionary” AI product. Most are mediocre. A few are genuinely life-changing. I started AI Tools Lab to help you cut through the noise and find the tools that actually work.

My Testing Process

Every tool I review goes through a rigorous testing process:

  1. Real-world usage — I use each tool for at least 2 weeks in my actual workflow
  2. Standardized tasks — I test each tool on the same set of tasks (writing, coding, design, research)
  3. Comparison — I compare against the current best-in-class tools
  4. Value assessment — I evaluate pricing against the value delivered

What I Use Daily

  • GPT-5.5 — General-purpose AI assistant
  • Claude Opus 4.7 — Coding and long-form writing
  • Cursor — AI code editor
  • Perplexity — Research and fact-checking
