By industry

What works
where.

The same tool can be indispensable in one industry and a liability in another, usually for reasons that have nothing to do with the model and everything to do with regulation, data and who carries the risk when it is wrong.

164 tools

Creative

Image, video, audio and design. The category where the technology moved fastest and the licensing questions are least settled.

120 tools

Data & analytics

The layer between a database and a person who does not write SQL. Ask where your data goes.

117 tools

Business operations

Sales, support, HR and the back office. Usually bought by a department, rarely by the whole company at once.

78 tools

Marketing

Copy, campaigns, SEO and analytics. Heavy on generation, light on measurement. The good ones close the loop.

58 tools

Productivity

Notes, meetings, scheduling and the general business of getting through a day. The highest duplication rate of any category.

56 tools

Software development

Assistants, agents, review and testing. The clearest measurable return of anything on this site.

25 tools

Healthcare

Clinical, diagnostic and administrative. Regulatory position varies enormously by market; check yours first.

21 tools

Research

Literature, synthesis and discovery. Verification matters more here than anywhere else: check the sources exist.

20 tools

Cybersecurity

Detection, response and code scanning. Vendor claims are unusually hard to verify independently in this category.

20 tools

Finance

Analysis, advisory, fraud and reporting. Regulatory posture matters as much as raw capability.

16 tools

Legal

Research, review, drafting and discovery. The category where being confidently wrong is most expensive.

14 tools

Education

Tutoring, assessment and course building. Watch for tools that optimise for engagement over learning.

07 tools

General purpose

Tools that refuse to sit in one bucket.
