# Laika Utilities

While using Laika you might notice there a bunch of icons on the right side of your workspace. This pane houses our **Utilities.**

It's where we provide a lot of helpers functions that help you develop smart contracts easier.

Let's explore them one by one!

1. **Notes**

Need to take short notes as memory joggers or perhaps some informal documentation for yourself? This is where you could take a note for your Requests

2\. **Code Snippet**

Your Laika workspace also has a nifty little generator where you can get a simple code generated from your requests. You can just copy this to your desired code editor and get it running right away in your projects!

3\. **Converter**

This is where we keep several converters that you can use. This can be really helpful when you want to convert datatypes when you are making Requests and developing on Smart Contracts.

These are the Converters available at the time of writing:

* Hash Converter
* Unit Converter
* Number Converter
* Ethereum Name Service (ENS) Resolver/Converter
