AI Analytics Hub

(Hopefully not) yet another AI tool directory.

Hi, I’m Mike (startup PM). Josh (founder of AnswerLayer) and I built this to explore what we believe might be a real problem for people working with analytics tools.

It started with a LinkedIn post by Dan Hockenmaier, where he tried to map the market, throwing in tools he knew. People in the comments followed suit, but surprisingly, there was no single place or "full ontology" to actually explore and learn about this landscape. The closest thing was Josh’s personal list, which he’d been maintaining as a founder and practitioner.

From there, I tested a handful of directories and communities (Product Hunt included) and kept running into the same issues: tools that didn’t belong, missing entries, broken links, and generic descriptions. This is a consequence of mass scraping and automation — which is fine if you’re going for breadth.

But for this niche, we felt depth mattered more. So we joined forces and turned Josh's personal, hand-built collection into a public directory.

P.S. The UX probably isn’t there yet, but what we’d really like to test with this launch is whether there’s a germ of usefulness here. And if there is, I’d love you to share your experience here so we can make it a better product.
