tools for citation to the existing corpus of lesswrong posts and to off-site scientific papers would be amazing; eg, rolling search for related academic papers as you type your comment via the semanticscholar api, combined with search over lesswrong for all proper nouns in your comment. or something.

(that said, folks like yourself could probably give people like me lessons on how to read papers.)
also very cool would be tools for linting emotional tone. I remember running across a user study that used a large language model to encourage less toxic review comments; I believe it was in fact an intervention study to see how usable a system was. looking for that now...
