HOW DO I SEARCH ABOUT RIGHT AI TOOLS ?

A question I often see is: “How do I find the right AI tool?”

And honestly, with so many AI tools launching every day, finding the right one can take more time than actually using it.

That’s one of the reasons I built The Index.

But I don’t want it to be just another huge list of AI tools.

Before adding a tool, I try to:

→ Use and explore the tool myself
→ Understand what it actually does well
→ Check whether it solves a real problem
→ Look at reviews and experiences from other users
→ Then decide whether it’s worth adding to The Index

The goal isn’t to list every AI tool.

It’s to make it easier for people to discover tools that are actually useful.
