A curated AI tools directory with 5,000+ listings
A broad catalogue spanning writing, image, video, audio, chatbot, design, marketing, productivity and other categories, built up since 2022.
Tools are grouped into intuitive categories with prominent tags, making it easy to scan an area and compare several options at once.
A keyword search finds tools quickly, and creators can submit their own product for inclusion in the directory.
A prominently displayed featured section surfaces selected and promoted tools, clearly separated from regular listings.

An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Ask a question in plain language and get a reasoned answer with the SQL, charts and tables behind it, available in the Hex workspace, in Slack and from developer tools.
Write SQL, Python and R side by side in one project, then turn cells into interactive, parameterised data apps and dashboards without a separate BI authoring tool.
Centralise metrics, semantics and corporate definitions so answers stay consistent, and see exactly where the agent lacked grounding so you can fix it.
Run graded, rubric-based test suites against the agent to measure answer quality and catch regressions as your data and context evolve.
