I Built 3 Free AI Tools That Help You Find the Right AI Stack

I kept seeing "what AI tool should I use?" asked everywhere — Twitter, Reddit, Discord, HN. So I built three free tools to answer that question.

1. AI Tool Finder Quiz

Why I built this

AI tools are fragmenting fast. There are now 150+ tools across writing, image, code, video, and business categories. People waste hours researching which one to use. These tools help you decide in 15 seconds.

I actually tried the tools before commenting, and I have to say, they’re really well done. 👌

The quiz looks simple at first, but I think that’s actually one of its strengths. The questions are quite generic, with only a few choices, but they’re well targeted enough to produce surprisingly relevant recommendations.

I tried a few different combinations and the results actually made sense for the criteria I selected. That’s harder to get right than it looks. 😄

I also like how the three tools complement each other: finding the right tool, improving the prompt, and then understanding the actual cost.

Simple, focused, and genuinely useful. Really nice work! 🔥
