Public Dataset

Published listings are available as a free, MIT-licensed snapshot — CSV and JSON. It is a point-in-time export of the directory, not a live replica. Check manifest.json for the generation timestamp.

What's included

listings.csv — One row per tool: name, description, pricing, website, category, and verified metadata fields.
listings.json — Same data with typed booleans and nulls. Ready for ETL pipelines and programmatic access.
categories.csv — Every tool category with its slug, display name, and tool count.
manifest.json — Full schema, generation timestamp, version history, and field-level documentation.

What to build with it

Research — Analyze pricing models, feature coverage, and open-source vs. proprietary trends across the AI tool landscape.
Comparisons — Embed verified tool data in your own comparisons or discovery platforms.
Pipelines — Load the CSV into a spreadsheet or data warehouse and filter however you need.
Integrations — Use the JSON to sync tool metadata with your own systems via a predictable schema.

Updates

Regenerated from the canonical directory when we publish a new snapshot. Watch the GitHub repo for commits; do not assume a fixed weekly clock.
