We present an overview of exoplanetary science and tools being developed for the community that support the Single Object Slitless Spectroscopy (SOSS) mode of the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) aboard JWST. Publicly available code will enable the community to generate synthetic data, generate spectral traces, produce difference images and extract spectra.
