AI Resources

A practical directory of current AI assistants, coding agents, media tools, model platforms, open models, app infrastructure, and learning resources. Pricing and model access move fast, so every card links to a source or official product page.

Agentic workflows

Coding tools and assistants increasingly plan, call tools, run checks, and hand control back for important actions.

Multimodal by default

Current assistants increasingly handle text, images, files, audio, and video as normal inputs rather than separate products.

Open weights matter

Llama, FLUX, Mistral, Stable Diffusion, and community models keep self-hosting and customization viable.

Safety and provenance

Teams need model cards, evals, audit logs, source links, and clear policies before trusting AI output in production.
