Best of AI

Best of AI is a curated directory of AI tools, run by the best-of-ai organization on GitHub. There's no company behind it, no VC funding, and nothing to pay. It's a list of tools organized so you can find what you need without wading through sponsored rankings or paywalled review sites.

The data lives in plain Markdown files — one file per tool, checked into a public repository. Anyone can read it, query it, or build on top of it.

The full index is available at /index.json. You can pull it, fork it, or build something on top of it. You don't need an account or an API key to use it.

Each tool entry is a Markdown file with a consistent frontmatter schema: name, description, website, category, price, and tags. If you're building a project that needs a structured list of AI tools, the data is there and it's yours to use.

Most AI tool directories sit behind a login or charge for data access. This one doesn't. The goal is to make finding the right tool accessible to everyone, not just people who can afford a paid subscription.

This runs on pull requests. If a tool is missing, a description is wrong, or a category doesn't make sense, open an issue or submit a fix on GitHub. You don't need permission from anyone to improve the data.

The repository has templates for submitting a new tool or reporting a problem. Fixes usually go through fast — the whole point of keeping the data in flat files is that contributions are easy to review and merge.
