Tool stack

Built-in utilities plus a curated map of the wider AI tool market.

Use this page for two things: the working tools already built into this site, and a curated shortlist of major external products worth knowing about. Vendor pricing and feature lists change fast, so treat external entries as a guide rather than a permanent spec sheet.

Choosing the Right Tool

  • Most AI chatbots offer free tiers, so it is worth trying several before paying for one default.
  • For coding, Cursor and Claude Code are strong starting points if you want fast repo-aware assistance.
  • For local models, start with LM Studio or Ollama before moving to lower-level runtimes like llama.cpp or MLX.
  • For image generation, the right choice depends on whether you care more about art direction, editing, or open local control.
  • OpenRouter is useful when you want one API entry point for many model providers.
  • Check our LLM comparison for detailed pricing and benchmark data.
