# Tools Overview

> Explore Pear Start's library of AI tools for lesson planning, content creation, and seamless integration with Pear Deck, Pear Assessment, and Pear Practice.

Pear Start's **Tools** is a library of AI tools that reduces teachers' time on tasks, lesson planning, and platform switching. Tools help you create class content and use the **Transform** feature to convert it into materials for Pear Deck, Pear Assessment, and Pear Practice.

<Note>
  The Transform feature is free to all Pear Deck Learning users.
</Note>

## Use the Tools Library

1. Click the **Tools** tab in the navigation bar.

2. Click the name of the tool that best fits your needs.

   Tools are separated into two sections:

   * **Popular** :  tools you've used in the last 30 days or pinned as favorites
   * **All Tools** :  organized into Content, Questions, Communication, Fun, and Planning categories

3. Review the tool description, which explains its purpose and the type of content it creates. Click **Use Example** to pre-fill the fields with a popular use case.

   Most tools share a consistent structure:

   * Grade level
   * Content or resource
   * Format

4. Fill out the required fields, then click **Generate** to create content in real time.

5. Review and edit the output before using it. To revise, click **Edit Prompt** in the upper-right corner of the tool, or request changes in the text field at the bottom. In the text field, use the **Quick Prompt** feature for popular changes, or enter your own change and click **Generate**. The new section is integrated into your content.
