Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Sidhanshu, and honestly, I built aistacks out of pure frustration. Here's what kept happening to me: I'd be working on a project and think "okay, I need AI tools for this." So I'd google "best AI tools for [whatever]" and get bombarded with these massive listicles. 100+ tools. No context. No explanation of how they actually fit into a workflow. Worse - they never told me which tools work TOGETHER. Like, if I'm a YouTuber, what's my complete toolkit? Not just "here's a video editor" but the whole stack - scripting, editing, thumbnails, analytics, the works. I was spending more time researching tools than actually building stuff. So I made aistacks. It's pretty simple - instead of endless lists, you get actual stacks. The YouTuber Stack. The Indie Hacker Stack. The Developer Stack. Real workflows that show how tools connect. And yeah, it's completely free right now. No paywalls, no "premium features" - just use it. What's in there: - Role-based collections (because a developer's needs are different from a marketer's) - Complete workflows (see how the tools actually work together) - Alternatives for everything (no vendor lock-in) - Community stacks (people can build and share their own) - Tool comparisons (side-by-side, no BS) Just shipped: Custom avatars, commenting on stacks, a stack builder that's actually fun to use, and profiles so you can showcase your collections. Working on next: AI recommendations based on your role, workflow templates you can fork, and better integration guides. Quick question for you all: What role are we missing? What's your current workflow for finding and organizing AI tools? I'm genuinely curious because I'm probably not the only one who's been frustrated by this. I'll be around all day - hit me with questions, feedback, whatever. — Sidhanshu P.S. Built with Next.js 16 and Supabase if anyone's curious about the stack (meta, I know)

Why I built aistacks (and why AI tool discovery is fundamentally broken)

I've been building products for a while now, and there's this pattern I kept noticing.

Every time I start a new project, I'd google "best AI tools for [whatever I'm building]" and get hit with these massive listicles. 50 tools. 100 tools. Sometimes 200+.

But here's the thing - they never actually helped me make a decision.

The real questions I had were:
