A curated directory and search engine for discovering AI tools and products
Thousands of AI products grouped into practical categories such as chatbots, education assistants, legal tools, video generation and design utilities so you can start from a use case.
A dedicated "Launching Today" area rotates freshly added and newly released AI tools, making the directory useful for spotting new products early.
Intent-based search helps you jump straight to a tool instead of paging through category lists.
Founders can submit their own AI tool for consideration, which keeps the catalog growing with indie launches as well as established names.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
