New page: Superintelligence
A dated snapshot of how the word superintelligence is being used: the U.S. executive order that tells federal agencies to say "Super Intelligence" instead of "AI" in non-statutory documents, how Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and others use the term, the competing definitions, what lab leaders, expert surveys, polls and skeptics say, and the ban proposals in the U.S. and UK, with links to every source. Forecasts, company claims and opinions are labeled as such, and items from one outlet or from the people quoted are labeled Reported. It takes no side, is research-based and not tested. We plan to refresh it monthly.
- New
Glossary: AGI and superintelligence; News filter
The glossary now has 112 terms, adding AGI and Superintelligence. The News page has a new Superintelligence chip that shows headlines mentioning superintelligence or AGI; like the other chips it matches words in the headline, so it can miss stories that do not use them.
- New
New page: AI and jobs
A dated snapshot of what research and data report about AI and the job market: layoffs employers attribute to AI, early-career hiring studies and the research that finds no clear effect, how many people use AI at work, which AI roles and skills are in demand, and rules on AI in hiring in Colorado, the EU and New York City, with links to every source. Many figures come from employers, vendors or models, and the page says which. Items from one outlet or from the people quoted are labeled Reported. It is research-based, not tested, and is not career or legal advice. We plan to refresh it monthly.
- New
New category: Corporate Learning AI
The directory has a new category with 12 tools for workplace training, all with deeper profiles: Docebo, 360Learning, Sana, Degreed, Cornerstone Galaxy, Absorb LMS, TalentLMS, Articulate 360, Uplimit, Guidde, DISCO and Coursera for Business. Several publish no price and are quote-only, so we list "Custom pricing" for those. Research-based, not tested, and we do not rank them. The directory now has 452 tools in 25 categories.
- New
New pages: AI in K-12 schools and AI in corporate learning
Two dated snapshots with links to every source. The K-12 page covers state guidance, how teachers and students use AI, what vendors allow for children, federal steps and open questions, mostly for the United States. The corporate learning page covers what surveys show, platform news, open questions and a buying checklist; the evidence there is thinner, mostly vendor and trade-body surveys. Items from one outlet or from the people quoted are labeled Reported. Research-based, not tested. We plan to refresh both monthly.
- New
New Guides page
All learning guides are now in one place: AI explainers, courses, and pages for schools and universities. The footer and home page now show Guides plus the tool finders (by goal, free, by price) instead of ten guide links. Every guide keeps its own page.
- New
New page: AI in higher education
A dated snapshot of how universities are adopting AI: what Texas, Stanford, California State and Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences have reported about campus deals, what student and staff surveys found, how assessment is changing and which new AI degrees are starting, with links to every source. Items from one outlet or from the people quoted are labeled Reported. It is research-based, not tested, and does not rank schools or tools. We plan to refresh it monthly.
- New
New page: AI agents, state and outlook
A dated snapshot of what AI agents can do today, what is still shaky, what has been reported lately and what is still open, with links to every source. Items from one outlet, vendor claims and allegations are labeled Reported. It is research-based, not tested, and does not rank agents. We plan to refresh it monthly.
- New
Three new categories: Legal AI, Healthcare AI and Nonprofit AI

Nonprofit AI: Grantable, Instrumentl, Givebutter, Bloomerang, Virtuous, Neon One, Fundraise Up, Donorbox, Submittable and Kindsight. Legal and health tools are mostly built for professionals, many publish no price, and nothing on the site is legal or medical advice. It now lists 440 tools in 24 categories. Where a vendor's price could not be read, the card says so and figures from other sources are labeled Reported. Profiles are research-based, not tested.
- New
22 more tools in existing categories
LanguageTool, Fotor, LTX Studio, Adobe Podcast, Rev, Amp, Greptile, Asana, Glean, Klaviyo, MarketMuse, Langflow, Salesforce Agentforce, Attio, Pipedrive, Tana, Sierra, Eightfold AI, HireVue, Gem, Rillet and Wiz now have deeper profiles in the directory. Pricing is not published for many of the enterprise tools, and the cards say so.
- Updated
Robots & Wearables page updated
The Robots & Wearables page is updated to October 25. Tesla says Optimus production has begun in Fremont (no unit count, price or V3 date was given). Agility Robotics' stock-market merger has a shareholder vote on November 2. Meta's $249 Adventurer glasses are on sale from October 23. Samsung's glasses are still unconfirmed, with a November launch and a $349 to $499 US price reported. Reported figures are labeled as reported.

The Videos feed on the News page now follows 12 more YouTube channels: Inside AI, David Ondrej, Nate Herk, Nick Saraev, bycloud, David Shapiro, AI Jason, Jeff Su, AICodeKing, No Priors, CodeEmporium and Y Combinator.

- Fixed
Rows removed from the directory
Rows is no longer listed: its maker announced that the product shut down on May 31, 2026. The Rows comparison pages (Coefficient and Quadratic) were removed.

- Fixed
AgentGPT removed from the directory
AgentGPT is no longer listed: its official pages could not be read and its code repository appears to be archived. The AgentGPT and AutoGPT comparison page was removed.
- Updated
Deeper profiles for 25 Cybersecurity AI tools
All 25 tools in the Cybersecurity AI category now have longer profiles with plan detail, limits, how the vendor says AI is used, and what the vendor states about data handling, read from the vendors' own pages. Most enterprise products publish no price, so their cards say so instead of showing a number; where a figure comes from a marketplace listing or another third party it is labeled Reported. Card changes: Norton Genie now shows Free, Reality Defender lists its Free plan, and Burp Suite, Semgrep, Snyk, Socket and Aikido keep their starting prices. XBOW's profile notes that its earlier On-Demand offer was reported deprecated. Profiles describe products at the level of the vendors' documentation and are not test results.

Fetcher removed from the directory
Fetcher is no longer listed. On October 6, 2026 Juicebox announced that it is acquiring Fetcher's assets and that Fetcher is retiring its platform. The directory now has 322 tools, and the SeekOut and Fetcher comparison page was removed.

- Updated
How we make money page and clearer affiliate wording
A new page, How we make money, explains what an affiliate link is, lists which links on the site are affiliate links (today: none) and sets out the rules we follow. The disclosure text across the site now says some links may be affiliate links, since none are yet. The page updates automatically if affiliate links are added.
- Updated
Deeper profiles for 10 more tools
Metricool, Brand24, Julius AI, Reclaim, Mem, Plaud, Taskade, Sunsama, Smartlead and Reply.io now have longer profiles with more plan detail, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Card changes: Julius AI shows $16 a month billed annually, Plaud $8.33 a month billed annually (it showed the $17.99 monthly price), Sunsama $17 a month billed annually and Smartlead $32.50. Reply.io's pricing page now lists a different plan structure with few prices, so its profile marks the older figures as Reported and its free-plan status is unclear. Julius AI's profile no longer says it does not train on your data, because its security page now says data may be shared with AI providers to help improve their models. Where a vendor's pages disagree, the profile says so.
- New

Cybersecurity AI: 25 tools and a security guide
The directory has a new category, Cybersecurity AI, with 25 security products that say they use AI: Snyk, Semgrep, Aikido Security, Socket, GitGuardian, Burp Suite, XBOW, NodeZero, Microsoft Security Copilot, Purple AI, Charlotte AI, Darktrace, Dropzone AI, Tines, Abnormal AI, Sublime Security, Hoxhunt, Norton Genie, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender Scamio, VirusTotal, Reality Defender, Hive Moderation, Lakera and HiddenLayer. Each has a written profile with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Most business products show custom pricing because the vendors do not publish prices, and several prices are marked Reported where only a third-party page or an older page showed them. AI security tools groups the 25 by task, from code scanning to scam checks and deepfake detection. The directory now lists 323 tools. Profiles are research-based; we have not tested any of these products or measured their detection.

Guides for developers, marketers, and researchers and students
Three more goal-based guides: AI tools for developers (27 tools), marketers (25) and researchers and students (20). Like the first four, they list tools by task, alphabetically and not ranked, with starting prices and free plans from the tool pages and a short checklist to read before choosing.
- New
Guides for creators, freelancers, small businesses and job seekers
Four new guides group directory tools by what you are trying to get done: AI tools for creators (35 tools), freelancers (30), small businesses (38) and job seekers (14). Each lists tools by task, alphabetically and not ranked, with starting prices and free plans from the tool pages, a short checklist to read before choosing, and links to related comparisons.
- New
138 more comparison pages and 63 more alternatives pages
There are now 194 side-by-side comparisons and 136 alternatives pages, covering far more of the directory: writing, research, voice, video, image, coding, agents, data, sales, support, hiring, finance and job-search tools. Each page uses the same starting price, free-tier and profile data as the tool pages, and ranks nobody above anyone else.
- New
Short profiles for the last 47 tools
The remaining 47 tools now have shorter written profiles with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages, across marketing, business, data, productivity, sales, support, 3D, architecture, finance and job search. Where a price could not be read on an official page, or a vendor's pages disagree, the profile labels it as reported. Every one of the 298 tools now has a written profile.
- Fixed
Cards for 47 more tools updated with current prices and corrections
Where a card showed the monthly price, it now shows the lowest annual-billing price with the monthly price in the description. Other corrections: Dex and Masterpiece X no longer show a free tier, since their pages list a trial or launch credits only; Waalaxy shows its price in euros; Adobe Substance 3D, Marvelous Designer, Plaud, Knowt, Kickresume, Novoresume and Careerflow show lower annual-billing prices; HubSpot Service Hub shows its Starter price of $7 and Simplify shows its paid Simplify+ tier. Prices that came from third-party pages are labeled reported.

- Fixed
Cards for 79 tools updated with annual-billing prices and corrections
Where a card showed the monthly price, it now shows the lowest annual-billing price with the monthly price in the description.

Profiles for Magnific, Recraft, Krea AI, OpusClip, InVideo AI and Hedra
Magnific, Recraft, Krea AI, OpusClip, InVideo AI and Hedra now have written profiles with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Where a vendor's pages disagree, or a price label is unclear, the profile says so. That makes 92 profiles in total.
- Fixed
Magnific, Krea AI, Hedra and other image and video cards
Magnific is now the former Freepik, relaunched under the Magnific name, so its card says so and no longer quotes a stock-asset count that the company's own pages give two ways. Hedra's card showed $20 a month, but its plans page lists Lite at $8 a month billed annually ($10 monthly). Krea AI's card showed its Pro price; the lowest paid plan, Basic, is $5 a month billed annually. OpusClip's card no longer calls clips viral-ready. Recraft, InVideo AI and Magnific now show annual-billing prices, with monthly prices in the description.

- Fixed
Murf AI, Gemini Notebook, Adobe Firefly, Elicit, Consensus and Speechify cards
Murf AI's card now shows its free plan. Gemini Notebook's card keeps its starting price of about $5, because paid access is sold through Google AI plans and Google's entry plan was reported cut to $4.99 a month in June 2026. Adobe Firefly's card no longer says its training data is IP-indemnified, because Adobe offers indemnification only to eligible enterprise customers. Elicit now says 138M+ papers and shows Pro reported at $49 a month billed annually. Consensus and Speechify now show their annual-billing prices, with the monthly prices in the description.
- New
Profiles for ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Copy.ai, Writesonic, Leonardo AI and Pika

- Fixed
Copy.ai, Writesonic and Pika cards
Copy.ai's pricing page lists no free plan and the company is now part of Fullcast, so its card no longer shows a free tier and describes it as a go-to-market platform. Writesonic now presents itself as an AI search visibility platform, so its card no longer calls it an ad-copy generator, and its $79 price is marked as billed annually. Pika's Free plan has no monthly credits, so its card shows $8+ a month instead of a free tier.
- New
Profiles for ElevenLabs, Jasper AI, Notion AI, Descript, Perplexity Pro and Cursor
ElevenLabs, Jasper AI, Notion AI, Descript, Perplexity Pro and Cursor now have written profiles with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Where a vendor's pages disagree, or a price could not be read on an official page, the profile says so. That makes 74 profiles in total.
- Fixed
Descript free plan and Notion AI pricing
Descript's card now shows its free plan, which it had left out, and drops a sentence that praised the product without a source. Notion AI's card no longer says $10 a month as an add-on, because Notion's pages list the AI features under the Business plan at $20 per member a month, with only a limited trial on Free and Plus. ElevenLabs now shows Starter at $6 a month, and Cursor and Perplexity Pro descriptions were updated.
- New
Profiles for six image, video and music tools

Runway ML, Ideogram and Midjourney now show the lowest annual-billing price with the monthly price in the description, and Runway notes that its Unlimited plan is no longer offered. Descriptions that made quality claims were replaced with what the vendors say the tools do.
- New
Profiles for six coding tools
GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Bolt.new, Replit Agent, v0 by Vercel and Amazon Q Developer now have written profiles with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Where a vendor's pages disagree, or a source is only a news report, the profile says so. That makes 62 profiles in total.
- Updated
Windsurf renamed and Amazon Q Developer being retired
Windsurf's card now follows the vendor's own announcement that Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, and shows a Free plan and Pro at $20 a month. Amazon Q Developer's card now says AWS has blocked new sign-ups since 15 May 2026 and ends support for the IDE plugins and paid subscriptions on 30 April 2027, and it no longer shows a free tier. Bolt.new, v0 and GitHub Copilot cards were updated to match their current plans.
- Updated
US, Europe, China and Products filters on News
The US, Europe, China and Products buttons on the News page now filter headlines by matching words in the headline (for example country and city names, well-known companies, or words like launch and release). They can miss stories that do not use those words, and each button says so when you hover over it. We removed the Breaking and Other regions buttons because the feed gives us no honest way to tell which stories they would show.

Run AI on your computer guide
A new guide explains what it means to run an AI model on your own computer instead of through a company's website, what memory and hardware the projects say you need, and how to download models with care. It lists 9 apps (LM Studio, Jan, GPT4All, AnythingLLM, Ollama, llama.cpp, llamafile, KoboldCpp and Open WebUI) with license, cost, platforms and privacy as each project's own pages state them. It is not a ranking, and we have not installed these apps.
- New
Learn AI guide
A new guide lists 25 courses and guides for learning AI from vendors such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Microsoft and from universities and independent teachers, grouped by goal: understand AI, use AI tools well, build with AI, go deeper, and options that are free only to start. Each row gives the cost, format and level as the provider's own page states them, and the date we checked. It is not a ranking, and we have not taken these courses.
- Updated
Skills, tools and MCP added to AI agents explained
The agents guide has a new section on how an agent gets new abilities: tools, MCP connections and agent skills (reusable folders of instructions, scripts and reference files), with links to the glossary and to the open format's documentation, and a short list of things to check before adding one.
- Updated
Price recheck on six tools
Fireflies.ai prices are now confirmed on the vendor's pricing page. Wondershare Filmora's card no longer says $19.99 a month, because the current buy pages show no monthly editor plan: Basic is $49.99 a year and Perpetual $79.99 one time. Higgsfield AI now lists Team and Scale prices, Calendly lists a Teams Plus price, and the Gumloop and Relevance AI profiles add credit and overage rules. Where vendor pages still disagree, the profile says so.
- New
Profiles for Relevance AI, Zapier Agents and Gumloop
Relevance AI, Zapier Agents and Gumloop now have written profiles with plans, limits and sources from the vendors' own pages. Where a vendor's pages disagree or a plan may be changing, the profile says so. That makes 56 profiles in total.
- Fixed
Gumloop and Relevance AI no longer shown as free
Gumloop's pricing page lists only a 14-day trial of Pro, so its card now says $37+ a month and no longer shows a free tier. Relevance AI's docs say its free plan is retired, so its card now says $19+ a month instead of Free / $19+.
- New
Models, Policy and Research filters on News
The Models, Policy and Research buttons on the News page now filter headlines too, by matching words in the headline (for example model names, regulation and law words, or study and paper). They can miss stories that do not use those words. The US, Europe, China, Other regions, Breaking and Products buttons still only change which button is highlighted.

Agents filter on News
The News page has a new Agents button. It shows only headlines that mention AI agents (for example agents, agentic, MCP, computer use, Manus or Claude Code). It matches words in the headline, so it can miss a story that does not use them.
