Directory of AI tools

Best AI tools worth trying for your startup

What each one does, what it costs, whether it is open source, and whether it is worth your afternoon. Every listing is checked before it goes up.

Built one? List your tool, free and nothing asked in return. Or have your agent do it.

Looking for an alternative to a pay-to-rank board like outbid.lol? Nothing here is ranked by what anyone paid. What a paid number one actually buys.

Listing your own tool

Paste the URL. We fetch the page, run the readiness checks on it, draft the listing from what is there, and show it to you to correct before anything is created.
